This is by far my favorite before and after comparison of my career as a farrier. The first photo is before I started trimming this foal in July and the second was just 4 days ago. Being born with severely dropped pasterns this foal required glue on extensions and without a doubt showed incredible improvement. Unfortunately the restriction of the hoof capsule distorted it greatly. Without the opportunity to trim this foal very regularly (at least every 3 weeks) and the rapi...d growth of newborns this great transformation would not have been possible. Collaboration is key in cases like this, without a great vet and willing owner you are rarely able to create this great of a difference. The point of this post is to show what can be achieved when the farrier, vet and owner communicate for the greater good of the horse.

I just want to take a minute to thank all of my clients and my supporters that have helped make this the best year yet Thank you for putting your trust into my program and allowing me to be part of yours and your horses development. This year would not have been possible without all of you I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and nothing but the best in the new year
