Kanske sådana blir bra. Finns till och med i halvstorlekar. Har medvetet väntat med nya boots för att låta hovarna forma till sig lite bättre först. Har verkat lite lätt en gång i veckan och nu är det snart dags för en mer kunnig person att kolla upp det hela igen. Dorado har inte visat någon hovömhet vilket man nästan får betrakta som ett smärre under ;) Ropar dock inte hej, vi gör det som behövs om saken ändrar sig. Roligt är att se hur vackra hovarna är utan sömhål :)






"You ask yourself “what gives, how can I make this work?” The answer is consistent trimming and trying to keep the hoof and hoof shape more uniform during a trimming cycle. Sounds easy but how do you keep a hoof more uniform during a trim cycle?

1. Hire a good hoof care professional to come every 4 weeks. Sorry a 6 week or 8 week cycle is too long.

2. Ask your hoof care professional to show you how to do maintenance trim. Purchase a good rasp and a Hoofjack and practice what they show you.



3. Ask your hoof care professional to evaluate your maintenance trims on the next visit. Ask them what you need to change and do better. The answer may be “more in this area, less in this area, more off the toe”.

4. Continue to perform maintenance trims and as you become more confident and your results improve move your hoof care professional to 6 weeks and then 8 weeks.

5. Keep the hoof care professional on board and involved. Ask them for feedback and help. Make sure they continue to come at least every 8 weeks. Keeping them involved will give you a good starting point and balanced hoof to start your maintenance every 8 weeks. In the worst case scenario your horse is 8 weeks away from balanced trim by your hoof care professional.

I was wrong. It’s not just about the “Fit”. A good “Fit” is essential but to get there and stay there requires proper measurements and consistent hoof shape. Consistent hoof shape is the difference between sometimes success and all the time success."

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
