22.01.2022 Heart bar wedge on a horse with weak heels and negative PA

20.01.2022 Foggy early start in the South Burnett

16.01.2022 Simple hack for teaching your horse to stand politely for a farrier

16.01.2022 X-ray day. an invaluable tool to check for possible abnormalities/ bone and joint alignment. This is a great way to ensure the trim or shoeing job is tailored to the individual foot, and help with longevity of our equine athletes.

15.01.2022 2020 was a difficult year for many, but I think most would agree if we think about it a little, we still have plenty to be thankful for! I’m confident we will have plenty to be thankful for again, remembering that each day/week/year is what you make of it. Happy new year, all the best for 2021!

14.01.2022 Bit of forging practice....

14.01.2022 Delta challenger salad bowl heart bar

12.01.2022 White line disease/seedy toe An anaerobic infection of the junction of the stratum medium and the laminae This is a horse that suffered extensive damage to the inner hoof wall caused by this disease, wall was resected (to remove diseased horn) and then rebuilt using Equilox, enabling a heart bar shoe to be nailed on. The infected/weakened wall also consequently resulted in laminar attachment being compromised, resulting in a mild case of laminitis, in my opinion if it wer...e a front hoof, the laminitic event would have been much more serious. Photos are approx 10 months apart, horse has made a full recovery Long/overgrown hooves can result in splits/ separation if the hoof wall, giving this disease a foot hold to bubble away under the surface. Remember the recommended shoeing and trimming interval should be no longer than six weeks- this is one reason why

11.01.2022 Sliders on reiners this morning that are in training with Chris Gould

09.01.2022 Re: Corona virus As with the rest of the country, I am currently taking precautions to limit the spread of covid-19: * As much as it feels completely wrong, please don’t be offended that I don’t shake hands with you during this time * As always, hand hygiene is a priority between jobs, I have a in- built tap and sink setup in my trailer, along with a good supply of hand soap * If you are unwell (in general), please let me know BEFORE I arrive to shoe/trim your horse and ar...range for someone else to catch/hold horses or reschedule your appointment * If you are self- isolating, have been interstate or overseas within the self-quarantine period (14 days), please notify me BEFORE I arrive and reschedule your appointment Being a sole trader, I rely on my health to make a living and feed my family. Your assistance in this matter, and your continued support of my business is greatly appreciated

07.01.2022 Don’t underestimate the hinds. I’ve heard sayings like the hinds pretty much look after themselves before, but usually they sorta don’t. Bit like a car with a dodgey back axle- remember the hinds are propulsion. First time I’ve shod this horse but it’s a good feeling when changes can be made in one shoeing cycle!... Not the best photos but this is a before after shot of off hind with a low/negative plantar angle. Note the typical bullnose look to the dorsal wall- this is not due to rasping, the toe on these hooves grows this way if the plantar angle ( the angle between the ground surface of the hoof and the bottom of the coffin/pedal bone)is low or negative- should be slightly positive, the bullnose and angle of the coronet is a good sign of what’s going on inside (although x-rays are a better tool to view the severity of this) Note the angle change of hoof wall and coronet This one had some artificial heel added in the form of Equithane Superfast. Look forward to seeing how these hooves go over the next few rotations

05.01.2022 PLEASE READ Due to the current Covid19 situation and the demise of the 2020 show season, we are offering to give back to the industry that has supported us ...so well! We would be disappointed to see the Non Pros/Amateurs and owners of Performance horses (who are the backbone of the industry) be left behind due to the current financial difficulties. After much discussion we have stripped back our business model and from the 1st of April we are offering a limited number of training packages at only $250/week Inc. GST (Normally $330/week) *conditions apply Whilst shows are cancelled, we are offering this training program for show horses (& prospects) to be kept in work, wether it be taking futurity age horses out of the pressures of arena work and getting them more broke or just keeping older horses tuned up and sound mind and body. *Conditions: Minimum 6 week training period. Includes hay, hard feed extra or to be supplied. This package will be re-assessed in 3 months time in relation to industry financial direction. Due to the manner of trying to support the show industry, this package obviously does not apply for starting under saddle or foundation training and normal rates will apply. - Chris & Melissa
