Trimming on a regular schedule with some owner TLC in between visits will get those overgrown, cracked, fungal invaded, flared hooves healthy again! I first trimmed this horse late December 2025 with toe cracks in front hooves grown out at late May 2026 visit. 🎉🐴

Grateful to attend part of the Virginia Horseshoers Association Keep ‘Em Ringin Scott Collier Memorial Clinic this month at George Washington's Mount Vernon!

Jennifer Horn with Daisy Hill Forge shared her forging talents with creative blacksmith work. Jamie Secoura and Dr Amy Santonastaso from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine (Go Hokies! 🧡❤️) shared their expertise as a farrier and vet team taking and discussing radiographs, trimming, and doing a venogram of a hind hoof.

Appreciate their time sharing their knowledge and all those that put this event together!🐴🥰

On the trails with EasyCare Inc. Protective Hoofwear Glove and Back Country hoof boots this spring!

I recommend booting or shoeing at least the fronts for support when riding trails known to have rock and varying unfamiliar terrain, especially when going for miles. Both options help prevent abnormal wear and tear and help hooves maintain balance. 🐴

Thanks ExtensionHorses and University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture for this infographic!

We are definitely in the sloppy season where it does not dry out for long, if at all, between rain and snow. Over the last few weeks I have been trimming lots of frog shedding and finding some areas of thrush in clefts (central sulcus), commissures (grooves along sides of frog), and layers shedding.

Highly recommend picking hooves and disinfecting regularly to help ward off foul smelling crud and infection. Some time in a stall or dry run-in are helpful. There are lots of disinfectants on the market ~ Banixx and iodine are my go-tos. Spring is around the corner! 🐴🤠
