Of course, wouldn't you know it - the day I emailed the password letters for PDF Issue 14 of The Horse's Hoof (January 28th) is the day when the internet got...
We had an informal clinic that we were asked to teach at. Supposedly professionals showing other professionals different approaches to pathologies. These...
Unfortunately that is what quite a few clinics lack. I was trimming one of my own horses while in the presence of someone who had supposedly been trained annd...
my mare is on pasture turnout. i pulled her shoes a year ago in december. she was initially ouchy, got better, but always seemed a little sensitive on rocky...
Hi, There are heaps of reasons why your mare might still be sore. To start with, what were her feet like when you pulled the shoes? Any chance she is still...
well, let me clarify, the pasture mates are not my horses and are not trimmed by my farrier. in fact, they are rarely trimmed at all... she's was in shoes for...
Is it possible it's not her soles, but maybe her joints. My older ones don't like the craters of hardened mud and neither do I cuz of the way it tweeks my...
Hi, Right, so she is fine with increased concussion (harder surfaces), but sore if the ground is rocky or uneven? So she probably doesn't have general...
her front legs were looked over by a vet pretty closely about a month ago. x-rays taken, etc. diagnosis had nothing to do w/ her feet (he found old ligament...

Just got a message that the Marquis hoof boot is now readily available in the US through www.StrideEquus.com Anna Larson hobo14@... Why Wait? Move to...
i wonder if they're heavy. my mare has some old ligament damage in her right front and when she wears her old mac's she overreaches. i think the additional...
I have heard they are Quite heavy, but I haven't actually seen a pair. I do know that there is at least some one in the US who has purchased a set. However...
Hi, I have a pair, and I remember a discussion about their weight on another board. We then compared weight, and if I remember well, I think they are about the...
Are you booting both the hinds and the fronts? We have found with our TWH Stallion that he will over reach/forge if we only boot on the front. If you boot him...
yeah, i've read that this problem can be avoided by booting in the back. however, i wonder if that would help in her case, since it's caused by a weakness in...
Hi, If it is the weight that is causing the over reaching, I'd expect that the horse would be fine initially, but as the horse became tired swinging the extra...
You might try rolling the toe on the easyboot so that the breakover will happen faster allowing her front foot to get out of the way easier. The old Macs on...
Well, I got my Boa boots yesterday. And today I gave them their first try. I think that things might have gone a little better if I were using them on a...
Hi Bonnie, Could you drill some holes in the bottom for drainage? It'd probably be a good idea to let the people at Boa know this, too, since they are fairly...
I was thinking of doing that, drilling holes for drainage that is. But I want to use the boots some more and make sure they are going to work out and possibly...
i was planning to just get ez boots for the front and see if that helps w/ the forging. but now i'm not sure. perhaps getting a 2nd pair of om's for the hinds...
claire, i'm not sure i understand. let me say that she usually overreaches when she goes into her 'fast' trot. if we're just doing slow, collected work in the...
