Got to get me one of those ...I love mr. september! Got to get me one of those calendars for my trailer. I too did a bit of creative organization with my trailer that I need to take pictures of and post. This reminded me. <br /><br />I agree with leaving the walls. My current trimmer is in favor of doing things a little slower than I have in the past - not taking the heels down and walls etc as much as I have seen recommended, instead he bevels and rounds edges that need to come down and lets the horse wear them down on their own. I was skeptical at first, BUT it has worked and now Farley maintains her feet on her own without me continually having to take heel and wall off so I'm a believer in taking some time with the foot and taking off a little bit at a time mroe often, than necessarily getting it picture perfect --> even if I *could* and not make my horse sore. I'm finding out, like most things in teh horse world, I get there faster by going slower.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-50707524402702343982012-09-10T18:10:30.147-07:002012-09-10T18:10:30.147-07:00in this post I couldn't get past Mr September....in this post I couldn't get past Mr September....<br /> - <a href="http://theequestrianvagabond.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Equestrian Vagabond</a>The Equestrian Vagabondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600011873327347121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-84280959028885928322012-09-10T09:09:33.567-07:002012-09-10T09:09:33.567-07:00THIEF!!!!! ;) I think we also traded manure fork...THIEF!!!!! ;) I think we also traded manure forks.

That might help stimulate the frog and sole, work out the false sole naturally and help build up the frog. It's pretty cheap to purchase ($30 or so for a cubic yard?) which will cover about 10x10 area 3 inches deep or so. <br /><br />PS. Love your calendar. ;)jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-6109208421082716842012-09-10T02:28:05.077-07:002012-09-10T02:28:05.077-07:00Thats a really flowing trot!!

Stoic horses are tough. Have you tried soaking? Major used to have more of a problem with it (increased his minerals has helped) but soaking with white lightning (or Oxine, which I found easier) can really knock the thrush out to start healing. I tried tea tea, Pete's goo, multiple things. I do like the dry no thrush powder before things get too ratty.irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-10049361066641415222012-09-09T16:48:44.967-07:002012-09-09T16:48:44.967-07:00well, my fox trotter run walks and hard trots. Doe...well, my fox trotter run walks and hard trots. Does that make you feel any better? He actually moves out at a hard trot a lot like her while at freedom and run walks when you ride him. Its angles and making them collect up and work, bleh. this coming from someone who showed fox trotters for years. I'm more into my comfort trail riding and less about performance. I even sent one fox trotter into retirement and got a thouroughbredfoxtrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822550326812928072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-67345620358644599822012-09-09T16:47:09.378-07:002012-09-09T16:47:09.378-07:00I think I would do the same with leaving the walls...I think I would do the same with leaving the walls for a couple of days. The benefits of letting the frog toughen a little before being put back into action out weighs the possible separation that would occur IMO.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121469297442797836noreply@blogger.com
