impermanen_ 🕊️Pedicure day!
Magic’s hooves look the healthiest the farrier had ever seen them, which is so gratifying. His #laminitis isn’t just being managed by our diet and exercise regime, he’s actually recovering from that disease that killed our other #horse in 2020 (and two others that lived on this property years before that). It’s workinnnng!

Not sure what to do for the best. Where to put the Shetland ponies.
The old horse responded beautifully when I treated his #laminitis recently. It was great to see him go from barely able to move to running around with the donkeys again.
But he relapsed over the weekend. It’s common. Once your equine’s had laminitis they’re more likely to get it again. Still, with care they can go for long periods of being totally pain free. Sometimes it’s just a short period. It’s ok. Take whatever nature gives you and your #horse.
Back to icing his feet.
And he’s improving.
The hot throbbing pulse from the laminitis has abated, which is a good sign. Keeping up with icing Magic’s lower legs twice a day for the rest of the week to give him the best chance of recovery. The common advice about icing for just three days is bad according to the experts we know here and at Colorado State University.
We lost one #horse to #laminitis in 2020. It was indescribably grim and we really don’t want that to happen again. #horses
PferdHufReiterThis is a composite open-toe shoe paired with soft DIM cushion which I used for a laminitis case. Correct shaping/finishing of the shoe and correct placement of the shoe & cushion are absolutely crucial with almost no margin for error, and have to be done according to x-rays. Laminitic horses really do suffer, the treatment is costly and takes lots of effort (and there is no guarantee a horse will survive it, btw!), so it is always a good idea to do everything possible to prevent a horse from becoming laminitic! Also keep in mind, what we see in the hooves of laminitic horses are symptoms of either poisoning or metabolic crisis. The hooves are not the cause/origin of this ailment! #hoof #hoofcare #farrier #horseshoe #laminitis #horse #Hufpflege #Huf #Hufrehe #Hufbeschlag
