Abscess and Repair
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Work in the FootPro Shop. This pleasure horse had a severe abscess in July and was shod at that time to stabilize the foot and give it some protection. Months later after no follow up or care by the owner, the hoof had extensive separation and damage that required a resection and patch using Vettec Adhere. We combined the first shoeing by Dave Farley with the one 7 months later by Hank Chisholm.

You might like the filing down of horses teeth. Unfortunately they have to put a noose twitch on the patient. Horses don't like it but better than a chunk out of a human.
I give him a lot of credit for going so slowly. You can see that he really cares about the horse! He wants to fix it, but he also takes into consideration the pain! God bless this man!

That horse gave him a lot of trust and it was beautiful to see that trust building with each respectful move. That speaks well of them both. He had to keep her foot up quite a while and he was messing with painful parts. This is a master class on what a horse should be trained to behave as much as how a farrier should behave. The difficulty is that farriers often get paid by the head or hoof. Problems take time to treat poorly and it takes even more time to treat them properly. Farriers need the opportunity to be good to your horse and they should be treated and paid accordingly. Demanding, stingy or argumentative owners' horses cost more to work on than owners who are polite and respectful. Dickering over each dollar comes out of the care your horse receives. Not only that, but if you want high-quality work in the future, one must grant time and money for good work, but ALSO for training to do this quality of work. Beginners are not disposable. They are the next generation of expert farriers. Expertise costs money to get and to keep. That's money that is often not considered by owners and even sometimes by farriers, themselves. These videos could be used to give owners an idea of what a good farrier does but also what a good farrier is Worth. I understand that master farriers might prefer to keep specifics between themselves and their customers. But, I think it would be a good way to support all farriers if people could have an idea how much they should expect to pay for similar service and give common reasons the costs might be lower or higher in those situations. Owners would also benefit from knowing how to give the farrier an atmosphere to get the most from the shoeing experience. I have watched some pretty contentious interactions over the years and it hurts the entire facility when these happen.

Has to be rescue horses and hopefully they put this farrier on schedule where he comes out regularly cause you will save money in the long run if you do that cause if you skip 2 or 3 shoeing then the farrier will charge you alit more but if he comes out regularly then the price is alot cheaper so to everyone with horses keep your horses on a schedule with the right farrier you'll save money in the long run..

The economy of his movements, the sure and steady strokes and repetition from experience and skill, are a kind of body language, conveying confidence through touch. I'm sure she feels that, knows she's in good hands, and it calms her. Each horse is different, of course, but most of them (especially those who have known good care) have a kind of wisdom and seem to know when they're in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. They're an intelligent species, not of the same exact type as our own, but when you look into their eyes, you know there's something consequential looking back at you. Beautiful creatures! They deserve our very best care, and that's exactly what they're getting here!

My goodness a lot of work gone into getting this hoof in better condition, well done.

@@stevehamman4465 Depends on the time of year. In the Spring and Summer months the Farrier usually comes out every 6 weeks for a trim and reset of shoes, for therapy reasons or showing, and in the Fall and Winter, the hoof growth slows down. So then you can sometimes go to 8 or 10 weeks between visits. As for price, that is up to the Farrier to decide as to how much work he must do per horse. With my 3, it would cost me 135 Canadian dollars each visit. And only 1 horse was showing, but with the ice and snow, in the Winter, all were shod with corks to help them grip the ice. Come Spring and Summer, only 1 horse was shod all 4 feet, (or all around), but that horse was competing. The other 2 had their shoes pulled off and they went barefoot, no shoes, until the first big frost. But cost is dependent on the Farrier. I wasn't boarding my horses anywhere, but had I been, the cost could have been lower if the Farrier was working on other horses in the barn. I hope this helps!! Have a great weekend Steve, and Stay Safe!!!

Felt so bad for this horse’s hoof can’t believe anyone would let it get this bad! I grew up on a horse ranch and rode the horse, my dad taught me at a young age to always pay attention to any limping it was our responsibility to take care of the horses we rode . There were several horses that were used for riding in rodeos. All of the horses hooves were cared by a farriers which fascinated me I could’ve watched them for hours! Glad this horse’s hoof was taken care of that’s a lot of weight to put on that hoof that was hurting it so much!

This horse blew an abscess. It could have been at the coronary band and it had to grow out, or half way down the hoof. What this farrier did was amazing to keep this horse sound and not going lamanitic, which it so easily could have done. I rehabilitate horses from injuries. I work very closely with the Surgeons, Veterinarians, Farriers, Nutritionists and the owners to get their horses sound and competing again. Sometimes it takes me a year to accomplish that goal. But working as a TEAM, we accomplish the goal we set out to do. Even if the horse never competes again and becomes a brood mare, I'm still involved. As I'm the one who delivers the foals. I did a trick I learned at the breeding barn. I grabbed a full and sealed water bottle, I then tied it up with her membranes while she was still contracting. The placenta came away, and I put it in a bucket for the vet to check, as she is a narrow hipped mare. He told me I did everything correctly when he arrived at the barn 5 hours later. Foal was up and nursing well. We checked the mare for any tears, and there weren't any because of the gentle traction of the water bottle that I had to tie up twice. We had 2 Hanoverian Colts, 2 Hanoverian Fillies, and 1 Dutch Warm blood Filly. All mothers and foals are well, and 3 have returned to their owners homes. The other 2, 1 Colt and 1 Filly are still in my care. They were the last born earlier this month. I've started working a bit with the foals. Who's attention span is 5 minutes or so, but I can lift their legs and clean out the feet then gently and lightly tap with the back of a wooden Dandy Brush. All in preparation for when they have to be, later in life, shod. Mother walks ahead on a lead, they are in a foal halter being led beside her. Beginning of Ground Manners. Especially for a Colt. The more you can teach them trust without pain, stops him from invading your space, because he already has the basics. You can teach so much from the ground BEFORE you even think of doing a layover their back in preparation for riding. Hope this help! Many Blessings and Stay Safe in these troubled times. Best Regards from Ontario, Canada, Jenn.

@@jenniferlehman2464 Audrey is correct while the abscess may not have been avoidable everything that came after is 100% neglect! If I had a horse with a defect that bad I would certainly not neglect the feet. Regular trimming to maintain a proper balance and reduce torque on the damaged area of wall would have prevented the massive sole fracture and wall blowout. Hell treating the abscessed area long before it blew out the top would have prevented the whole damn mess. The condition of this horses feet comes from neglect. Much like a heavily matted dog if takes a long time for these conditions to develop. Regular grooming prevents matting! And regular hoof trimming prevents what you see above. Any farrier worth the cost of his or her tools could have prevented the excessive damage done to this horses foot. Hell I’m no pro trimmer but even I could have kept that foot from coming apart with basic trimming tools.

Sadly, we get horses all the time through our farm because people come to us asking if we want a horse. Sometimes, we take them and they look like death warmed over. We put weight on them, try them out with the lesson kids and if they won't work, we sell them. But since prices dropped, people think "Hey, we can afford a horse!" Until they wonder why they can't keep weight on or it's wasting away and someone has to step in to save it. And we're not even a rescue.!
