I'll share a recent experience with a trimming clinic. This particular clinician left the toes too long on each of my 5 horses and he rasped the hell out of...
Well, maybe he had no business conducting a clinic. What is worse though is so many people EVERY day, who put faith in people they should have better sense...
Very nice post. I agree, "experts" can only be trusted to know what they chose to believe in -- one reason, that after two children with horrid vaccine...

Hello Kalmran, You should start doing Clinics ;-) This is a great post. I did a trim today on one of my horses, took me about 15 minutes or less to do both...
Paintlick Kentucky Two rescued mini donkeys need trimming ASAP. Very tame and sweet. (so the owner says) I saw a pic and its baaaaad. The hoof has grown up an...

Although I understand how one might not always agree with the vet, I agree
with you Pam. Three-legged lame = a call to the vet. I hope all goes well
for you...
Hello Lynn, I disagree, with some of the other posts. Sometimes a 3 legged lame horse just has a hoof abscess. Most of the time taking a horse to the vet...
I feel the same way with a hoof abcess, Bonnie, but I was referring to the
swelling in the leg that was referred to. I guess I should have clarified
that by...

Hi KalmRon, That was interesting. Hope you keep him forever. What's your plan for these guys? Lynn Swearingen [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Since there IS swelling above the hoof - then this is what I would due if the horse was one of my schooling/competition mounts: #1- I generally do NOT wrap...
Hello Kalmran, LOL Yep, I might have forgotten to mention letting the horse stand tied thinking it would go without saying that a lot of movement would tear...
Thought you all might be interested in seeing this video of the wild ones in the mountains of Virginia. They aren't afraid of humans - curious but cautious. I...
Hi all, Lynn, You asked about my plan for the two mares and the colt. My plan is to show that these horses are as capable as the expensive ones people pay to...
That was a lot to take in! I'll save it for future reference; all very interesting. The Paint (APHA) breeders will argue with you though. Although as I look...
With permission I cross posted this. It does apply to CTR and other disciplines even though it is referencing Endurance Riding. Lynn Swearingen "Well it has...
Hi Laura, I think the mare is better. I'm getting daily updates and the swelling is almost gone. She doesn't mind the pastern being handled or the leg moved....
