Aluminium rolled toe shoes for a chronic laminitic
Featuring a resin frog support and flexible outer tabs they were a great option for this nail shy mare.

The hind end of a horse is the one we often overlook.
Here's a few examples of shoes modified to support, protect and ease movement of the hind end.

Here's a few pictures from the worshipful company of farriers' foot balance course I attended last week.
A fantastic event that really helps you find your weaknesses and address them, sometimes in a way you never would have thought of on your own.
Big thanks to everyone in the background that made it happen and the fantastic horse owners that gave up their staurday to bring horses down to us.
