South Okanagan Trip! 🍷

🚗 August 8th I will be making my way from Princeton to Penticton and I have a few stops available.

🦴 I do barefoot trimming, Equine Sports Therapy (currently doing schooling for Osteopathy) and I do whole body packages with bodywork and trims.

📖 I have been working with horses for 40 years and I have been treating horses since 2020.

Limited spots available this time, but this will be a consistent trip for me. If I get enough interest I may make this a two day trip in the future 🙂

Message me if you are interested

Looking to fill some remaining spots in the Okanagan and around Cache Creek to add to my trim schedule, or people who are interested in my hoof and bodywork program 🥰

I’m tired of training horses when that’s not what I was hired for, whether it’s bodywork or trimming I’m risking my life

Why regular shoeing matters:
The angle of the hoof directly affects the load on tendons.

Stretching your farrier schedule to "just another couple of weeks" isn't the saving it looks like. That routine appointment protects some of the most important structures in your horse's leg.

A UK study (Leśniak et al., 2017) measured horses' feet before and after farriery found that regular trimming improved the hoof's alignment, reducing the dorsal wall, correcting angles and easing the strain on the structures at the back of the foot.

As the hoof grows, hoof balance gradually shifts. The toe lengthens, the breakover moves forward and the load on the deep digital flexor tendon increases.

Researchers concluded that a regular farriery interval of no more than 4 - 6 weeks can reset the foot before tendon load builds into something harmful.

The deep digital flexor tendon runs down the back of your horse's leg and under the foot. When it's injured, it can be serious and one of the hardest to rehabilitate problems a horse can face.

Prevention is always better than a cure - a few weeks isn't worth a year of rehabilitation.



*Always follow the interval your own farrier recommends for your horse, it's tailored to your horse's specific needs.*
