05.01.2022 IT’S NOT HIM, IT’S YOU Why your farrier won’t return your phone calls and what he really wants to tell you but never will ~ written by the wife of seniored far...rier I see it ALL the time, people posting on social media, looking for a new farrier because the last one has disappeared. I quietly think to myself, And you wonder why you got ghosted. Here is a list of ISO farrier ad faux pas that will definitely keep him from responding to your ad or calling you back: Looking for a reasonably priced farrier: A good farrier ain’t cheap and a cheap farrier ain’t good. If you mention anything about price or reasonability, etc. you’re off his list. Maybe not for a young kid that’s starving, but even if he does get your business now, he’ll quickly figure out what a bad idea shoeing one for cheap is and you’ll fall to the bottom of his priority list for someone who’s willing to pay what he’s worth. I need a patient farrier, Trigger is sensitive and scared of men: Your farrier’s job isn’t to train your wild brumby. He spends his days bent over, holding up 1000 lb. animals. His body hurts, and the last thing he has time for is to put up with your spoiled donkey. Please work with your horse to pick up all 4 feet and stand quietly before scheduling an appointment. I need someone ASAP: Dude, a good farrier is booked weeks in advance, has a schedule of good clients and works his schedule around the locations he’s traveling tonot to mention he’s most likely a family man and has to juggle his kids’ activities as well. So, trimming Trigger tomorrow morning may not be at the top of his priority list, and you might to have to be OK with that. I need a corrective shoer: One of the things my husband told me when we first started dating was, I don’t believe in corrective shoeing, I believe in shoeing correctly. All horses are different and need to be shod accordingly. A good farrier has enough education to handle all situations and should have veterinary recommendations for the works he’s done. I keep Trigger on a 12 week schedule: A farrier is not a magician. A good one can keep your horse sound with REGULAR shoeing. Calling him when feet are grossly overgrown, or you FINALLY lose a shoe is not acceptable. This causes lameness issues and creates so many other unnecessary problems. Keep him on a regular 6-8 week schedule, for the love of God! I tell my husband all the time that he should keep his clients on a schedule and call them when they’re due, but I can’t teach an old dog new tricks. You might find that rare unicorn that does that, but it’s unlikely. Best to just put a reminder to call him in 4 weeks to schedule on your calendar. A few more pieces of advice that seem like no brainers, but you’d be surprised what people don’t understand: Don’t make him hunt you down for payment. Have a check or cash waiting when he shows up. Put your damn dogs away. The last thing he needs is Trigger kicking at Fido as he’s trying to steal a piece of freshly cut frog out from under him. Make sure he has a place to work in the shade, free of obstacles and dangerous objects for Trigger to get hung up on. Things come up and schedules change, but please don’t make that a regular thing. He has a schedule to keep and your last-minute cancelation really messes up his day. Don’t give Trigger a bath or mud his legs right before your appointment. There’s nothing worse than shoeing a wet/muddy/liniment-soaked horse. It’s OK to ask questions and have convos about your farrier’s plan, but you’ve hired him because he is a professional and you trust him. You wouldn’t tell your mechanic how to fix your car would you? If you don’t trust his ability, find someone you do trust! A little appreciation goes a long way. Most guys don’t get a lot of credit for the work they do but they are one of the most important people your horse knows. A simple ‘thanks for all you do to keep Trigger happy’ means more than you know. Last but not least, as interesting as it is to you and me, he doesn’t give one single care to how Trigger is bred, what he ate last night, or his favorite color. I know, doesn’t make sense to me either, but he doesn’t and nothing you can say or do will change that.

05.01.2022 FAILED VETTING ??? Flexion Tests??? 100% worth a read! You’ve decided to sell your horse and the potential buyer has sent a veterinarian to your stables to pe...rform a pre-purchase exam. Or, you’re the buyer, and you’re excited to complete your purchase. As you stand, beaming with satisfaction, the veterinarian picks up the horse’s left front leg. Bending it at the fetlock, he or she holds it in the air for 60 seconds or so, releases the limb, and asks that the horse be immediately jogged down the drive. In astonishment, you watch as the horse that you’ve known or hoped to be sound moves off with an obvious bob of the head. He’s most decidedly lame after the test. What happened? What does it mean? What you have witnessed is a phenomenon not necessarily of the veterinarian’s creation, but something that can sometimes occur following a procedure called a forelimb flexion test. In a forelimb flexion test, various joints and soft tissue structures of the lower limb are stretched and/or compressed for a brief period of time by bending the limb. Afterward, the horse is immediately trotted off and observed for signs of lameness. Simple, really. But it gets messy. Forelimb flexion tests were described in Swedish veterinary literature as early as 1923. And, since then, they’ve become something of an integral part of the evaluation of the lame horse. But not only that, forelimb flexion tests are generally routinely included in prepurchase evaluations of horses intended for sale. The test is not unlike what you might experience if someone asked you to sit in a crouch for sixty seconds and then run right off. Usually and especially if you’ve never had knee problems you can run off just fine, particularly after a couple of steps. If you’ve never had a problem, chances are that you’re fine, no matter what happens in those first couple of steps. But very occasionally, that stiffness and soreness that you might feel could signal a problem (such as a bad knee). This test used to make me nuts, and to some extent, it still does. That’s because I’m often not to sure what to make of the state of things when a horse takes some bad steps after a flexion test. I mean, I know I might not pass such a test. So who’s to say that every horse should? Because of that question, back in 1997, I did I study. It’s still timely. In my study, I looked at fifty horses (100 legs) of various breeds, ages, sex, and occupation. The owners were gracious enough to let me explore my curiosity about forelimb flexion tests. The horses were from my practice, an included a wide variety of pleasure and performance horses including some world class jumping horses but overall, they were a representative sampling of all of the horses that were in my practice. Here’s what I found. I found that forelimb flexion tests couldn’t tell me anything about the future of a sound horse. I could make every single horse lame with a hard enough flexion test, with the exception of one particularly annoying Arabian gelding who was always trying to bite me (no Arabian jokes, please). Horses that had something on their X-rays weren’t any more likely to be lame after a normal flexion test than horses that had clean X-rays. Horses that had positive normal flexion tests weren’t any more likely to be lame 60 days out, either (those horses that were lame mostly had things like hoof abscesses, which nobody could have predicted anyway). If you follow a groups of horses for 60 days, there’s a decent chance that a few of them might experience an episode of lameness. Who knew? So what did I conclude? Well, I said right there in front of an entire meeting of the American Association of Equine Practitioners that I didn’t think that it was a good idea to rely on forelimb flexion tests to make a diagnosis of some current or future problem without some other supporting sign. I said I didn’t think that they were very sensitive, or that they were very specific. And I said that I didn’t think it was a good idea to turn a horse down base solely on a response to a forelimb flexion test, either. Which caused a bit of a kerfuffle. What’s the Bottom Line? If you’re a seller, I don’t think that you need to be overly concerned if your otherwise sound horse takes a few lame steps after a forelimb flexion test. There are just too many variables. For example: Older horses are more likely to be positive to flexion that are younger horses The longer you hold a limb in flexion, the more likely the horse is to take a few lame steps afterwards Men tend to flex more firmly than do women The same horse may have different responses to flexion tests on different days If you’re a buyer, don’t be too eager to walk away from a horse that you otherwise like just because he takes a few lame steps after a flexion test. You have to consider a lot of other factors, such as whether you like the horse, or whether he does what you want him to do, or if he’s a colour that you like... You just can’t consider the forelimb flexion test in a vaccum. It has to interpreted in light of clinical findings such as fluid in the joint, reduced limb or joint flexibility, pain to palpation, or clinical lameness in the limb that demonstrates the positive response. If you see abnormal X-rays findings (such as osteoarthritis) in a limb that has a positive response to a flexion test, that may add some significance, and particularly if there is concurrent clinical lameness. However, to keep things confusing, my study also found that many radiographic abnormalities occur in clinically sound horses. Remember, you have to ride the horse you can’t ride the radiographs. Horses can and do perform well for a variety of riding endeavors even when they do not perform well on a forelimb flexion test. As for a positive response to a forelimb flexion test, it may just be that everything is OK, but the horse doesn’t like his leg bent up!

01.01.2022 3yr old gelding by A little Turbulence that I've broken in ready to go home on the weekend

01.01.2022 To whom ever this may concern. Yes I am still able to work due to being an essential animal welfare service during this Corona virus pandemic however, I have de...cided for my families health and safety to only service my regular clients during this time. (Hard call for our financial position however). This is due to the fact that I know these clients well and their horses and can trust that the horses are sensible enough for me to trim/shoe with out the owner being present during the appointment. This is to limit human contact for both sake During this difficult time I am implementing a series of measures to keep us all safe whilst maintaining as normal a service as possible. Below is a series of measures I am taking to ensure your welfare and limit the spread of Covid 19, along with a list of things you can do to make the implementation of this easier. What I am doing Following government social distancing advice My STRONG preference would be that you DO NOT attend the appointment ESPECIALLY if in a high-risk category Badly behaved horses will be low priority (Our Emergency rooms don’t need any extra patients) I will be carrying antibacterial hand wash and will thoroughly wash hands on arrival and departure No tea, coffee, cakes, biscuits etc (until it all passes, then feel free to make up for lost time!!) I am regularly monitoring my health and the health of my family. And will notify of any changes. What you can do Please keep me updated on any changes in your health and do not attend if experiencing Covid-19 symptoms Wash your hands before handling your horse, its halter and lead rope I request that you give me permission to help myself to your horses at appointments so that you do not have to be in attendance If you insist on being in attendance, please adhere to social distancing advice With these measures in place I will continue to work as normal on the grounds of animal welfare. If the situation changes then I will adapt my working protocol to suit where possible or provide cover in the worst-case scenario. If any clients have concerns, please be open with me, I understand this is an unprecedented time we are going through. Thank you for your cooperation and stay safe.

01.01.2022 This is the first time this foal has had her feet done. It goes to show how easy it can be for them if the owners do Handle them correctly at this young age.
