#horseshoeinglife celebrates the art and skill of farriery, showcasing horseshoeing techniques, tools, challenges, and the bond between farriers and horses, fostering community, passion, and appreciation for horses' well-being.
Testing update on the EasyShoe Change! 🔜 The EasyShoe Change provides below the hairline hoof protection that acts as a removable horseshoe. Curious how you reset the tabs when it’s time for a trim? Simply use hoof nippers to grab the cuffs and roll them away from the hoof wall. Trim the hooves, clean the cuffs, then reapply using Super Glue. This horse has been wearing these cuffs for a full trim cycle. The EasyShoe Change will be available later this year! #easycareinc #horseshoes #horseshoeinglife #horsehoof #hoof #hoofcare #hooftriming #hoofcleaning #barefoothorse #horsebackriding #equine #equestrian #equestriansoftiktok #horsetok #horsecare #newshoes #resetroutine #hooftrim
Foal Trimming: Lets talk about it  People often ask us as farriers when they can start working with their foals to teach them how to stand for the farrier. The answer is IMMEDIATELY! Working with foals feet can include things like handling and tapping on them. This is to simulate future trimming and shoeing and to develop the foal’s ability to stand with one hoof off the ground. This procedure is extremely important to help teach the young horse to stand on three legs while having its feet manipulated. Teaching this early on can create a safe, and good experience for the foal, horse owner, and farrier.  Horse owners often wonder when to trim their foal for the first time. Some suggest that no hoof care is needed until the foal is a year old or even worse, until started into riding training. Waiting a year, or even two is never acceptable when considering the overall wellbeing of the animal. Hooves can get long, wear or break unevenly or even worse yet–don’t wear or break at all, that can escalate into leg strain and deviation potential. When a foal is born, its feet, particularly its front, are fairly pointed. The point on the front feet helps in positioning, and delivery through the birth canal, and it helps in the tearing of the placenta upon delivery. Once the foal is born the pointed feet can become a problem. Due to the hoof shape,  the foal is unable to break (roll over the toe when stepping) directly over the front of the hoof. This can cause a path to break to either the outside or inside (most common) of the point causing the foal to become toed in, pigeon toed, or toed out, splay footed. Neglect at this point allows additional wear during break-over, contributing to additional deviations if neglected. As the foal matures, bones harden and joints form, and it can make corrections impossible. ALL corrective trimming, and efforts to maintain the correct form and function of the leg MUST be implemented well before the foal is 1 year old. Corrective trimming after a horse is 1 year old usually will cause more damage and leg stress over time than it will correct because the bone growth plates are closing (becoming inactive). The greatest successes are a result of early innovation and continued efforts to make corrections slowly with only slight adjustments each trimming. This will allow the limb to self correct as much as possible while causing minimal stress as the bones and joints are modified to a more correct, sound stance and structure. #farrier #farriersontiktok #farriersoftiktok #womanfarrier #foal #foalsoftiktok #foaltrimming #babyhorse #babyhorsesoftiktok #horses #horseshoeinglife #horseshoe #hunterjumper #cuttinghorsesoftiktok #dressagehorse #reigninghorse
