    For those that dont see many true foxhunters, i can tell you that davids job is fantastic. The shoe is perfectly functional and of appropriate length for the hunt season. This year has been far more boggy and wet than previous seasons when i go out every saturday there have been at least 6 lost shoes out of a field of 50 horses (fortunatley i keep the hunter numbers low on my books so its rarely one of mine). I think a heart bar would be inappropriate in this case, good work!

    Lungwitz is interesting,but he don't explain how treat this toecracks. I'm think if I put two clips in the heels,like a fractured coffin bone, I could be change the movement mechanism of the hoof,and the cracks will close.

    Had a lame one today, a few adjustments to the customer and all fixed. if only the horses were that easy. Caroline who is a great friend of mine had a new limb fitted, the leg wasnt adjusted properly so she got me to adjust it, she reconed it was easier than leveling a hoof.

    I have to say Ray it was a very complicated job, there are many ways to adjust this leg, the carpus was adjusted weight bearing, we were all laughing while doing it.

    This is an 11 day old foal, been under the vets since it was born, it had septicemia fro the umbilical cord. It has started to show angular limb deformities,
    called into day to assess and record and decide if it worsens or improves.
    The front right is carpus valgus and fetlock varus, the front left is carpus valgus and fetlock valgus. There is a mild fetlock varus with a bit of rotation. The beauty of digital photography is you can look in a week and compare pics and decide if intervention is required.

    I have some worse ones to see this week an will photo them.
    this is only a couple of days old, will be interesting if it auto corrects, I recon it will need a bit of intervention.

    Q: do you think he will need peri-stripping?

    I am not sure if they do stripping at this? could you find out if they do?
    I always wondered about this with this type of angular limb deformities? if it is possible?
    and what kind of cuffs would be used.

    only Arabs in 1999; did I use cuffs a couple of foals; haven't since; so I would be very interested in learning what you would do in this situation.
