I outfitted her right hoof with a device I designed called a “modified ultimate.” It’s essentially a cuff around her hoof with a wedge and breakover properties that allowed her to raise the heel at will. This enabled her to bear weight on her foot without putting her heel down, which was especially painful for her. The mare walked comfortably while wearing the device, and I returned to Kentucky hopeful that her condition would improve.

  • Therapeutic Horseshoeing
    Updated: November 29, 2018 Therapeutic Horseshoeing Farriery options provide important benefits to horses with soundness issues. By Steve Chiasson, DVM, CVMA If you’re lucky, you and your horse see your farrier once every six weeks or so, and these visits involve a simple trim or standard shoeing. If your horse has always been sound and performed well, it is likely that regular, routine care by a qualified farrier is more than sufficient to keep his feet in tip-top shape. However, when lameness issues or poor performance are hindering your horse in his ability to remain comfortable and efficient in his work, more advanced farriery may be indicated to help get him back on track. Prior to any therapeutic shoeing program, your veterinarian should perform a full lameness examination to determine the exact cause of lameness. Photo: iStock/UrbanCow Modern farriery is a fascinating blend of science, craftsmanship, and tradition. As a trade, it has evolved from a necessary service to working animals, to a highly technical craft and instrumental part of equine sports medicine. When treating a lameness case, a team of professionals including the farrier, veterinarian, and trainer, must collaborate and then work together with the owner to design and execute the best treatment plan for the horse. The treatment modalities available for lameness are numerous, but at the foundation of any rehabilitation plan should be proper foot balance and maintenance. In most cases, this can be achieved with a well-balanced trim and standard shoeing, but certain lameness conditions can benefit greatly from therapeutic shoeing. These specialized shoes are used to minimize forces on inJured areas, thereby decreasing pain and, in some cases, allow for healing to occur.

  • Breed Standard
    BREED STANDARD BREED HISTORY AND TYPE1 The Norwegian Fjord Horse is one of the world's oldest breeds. Fjord breeding took place mainly in the western part of Norway. Because of this, the breed was also known as “Vestlandshesten,” meaning “west land horse.” This region is also known as the Fjord region of Norway, thus “Fjord Horse.” Little is known about the origin of the breed. There are many similarities such as color and primitive markings between the feral Przewalski horse and the Fjord. It is thought that most primitive and/or feral horses were dun and had similar striped markings. The Fjord Horse was selectively bred for the dun color and primitive markings. The Fjord is rather like the European wild horse, the Tarpan, now extinct in its natural state. It is most likely that the horse came to Norway from the East. There may have been wild horses in the south of Sweden and in Denmark since the last ice age. Archaeological excavations reveal that the horse was domesticated in the Bronze Age, circa 1200 BC. Viking burial grounds show that man had bred the horse for about 2000 years and it appears that the Fjord Horse is a descendant of the earliest horses in Norway. Through the ages, there has been a great deal of contact between Norway, Iceland and the British Isles. Horses from these lands have influenced the development of the Fjord breed. The Fjord seems to have varied in size and type from the north to the south of the Fjord region. The Fjord Horse from Nordfjord and Sunnmore was known to be larger with more bone and with more profuse mane, tail and feathering than the Fjord in Sunnhordland - which was smaller, lighter and more refined.

  • Of Hoof Balance
    Frustration OF HOOF BALANCE Minnesota veterinarian and veteran farrier says it’s a mistake to emphasize technique over the needs of the horse By Tracy A. Turner, DVM, MS, Dipl. AVCS AMERICAN FARRIERS JOURNAL www.americanfarriers.com 1A BALANCE IS DEFINED in the dictionary as a harmonious adjustment of parts or as the harmonious perfor- mance of functions. So what does that have to do with the hoof? The hoof must perform its functions in harmony with the rest of the limb, otherwise weight-bearing stress will be shifted abnormally on the limb and result in overload and overstress of a ligament, tendon or bone which then results in lameness. Doug Butler has used a better defini- tion of hoof balance. Balance, says the Colorado-based farrier educator, is a condition that exists when the weight placed on the legs of a horse is equally distributed over the foot of each leg. So, how do we achieve balance? There are a number of methods avail- able. They include: 1. Geometric 2 . Dynamic 3 . Diagonal 4 . Natural 5 . Four-Point 6 . Duckett’s Dot FIGURE 1.

Five key elements distinguish type (descriptions in italics are quoted from AR104 Purebred Breed Standards found in the 2019 USEF Rule Book): • Head - Comparatively small head, profile of head straight or preferably slightly concave below the eyes; small muzzle, large nostrils, extended when in action; large, round, expressive, dark eyes set well apart (glass eyes shall be penalized in Breeding classes); comparatively short distance between eye and muzzle; deep jowls, wide between the branches; small ears (smaller in stallions than mares), thin and well-shaped, tips curved slightly inward; • Neck - long arched neck, set on high and running well back into moderately high withers; • Back - short back; • Croup - croup comparatively horizontal; • Tail - natural high tail carriage. Viewed from rear, tail should be carried straight; • The above qualities identify type in the purebred Arabian horse. If the horse has these qualities and correct conformation, we have our ideal standard. • In addition to the descriptions listed above to define Arabian type, the following descriptions are also part of AR104, Breed Standards: long sloping shoulder well laid over with muscle; ribs well sprung; long, broad forearm; short cannon bone with large sinew; loins broad and strong; hips strong and round; well-muscled thigh and gaskin; straight, sound, flat bone; large joints, strong and well defined; sloping pasterns of good length; round feet of proportionate size.

  • Hall of Fame Farrier Tips
    Hall of Fame Farrier Tips A collection of practical advice from members of the International Horseshoeing Hall Of Fame Advice From Hall Of Fame Farriers If you could share one piece advice with another farrier, what would it be? What would you pull from your collected experiences as a footcare practitioner? That’s the challenge we asked of several members of the International Horseshoeing Hall Of Fame. We interviewed each on various subjects that they think every farrier should know. It is no easy task when you ask someone whose knowledge could fill hundreds of book pages to select a single item that will be a small portion of a report. It is no surprise that these tips are all diverse. Some are hyper-focused on technique, others very generalized. Some are specific to the mechanics required to be under a horse, while others offer practical business advice. That in essence is farriery — so many items are critical to helping horses while building and maintaining a footcare practice. We hope this report will become a regular publication from American Farriers Journal, and that different members will appear in the future editions, sharing the advice they pulled from their hoof-care careers. Let us know what you think about this report and who you’d like to see in future editions. Nominate A Farrier Or Veterinarian We often hear from farriers who are curious why a mentor isn’t in either the International Horseshoeing Hall Of Fame or the International Equine Veterinarian Hall Of Fame. We encourage you to nominate that farrier of veterinarian.

  • 4-H Horse Project Manual
    CHAPTER 1: WHAT IS THE 4-H HORSE PROJECT? The purpose of the 4-H Horse Project is to help you learn how to care for and use your horse properly — and to have fun while you learn. Through the 4-H Horse Project, you can increase your knowledge and improve your horsemanship skills by learning basic handling principles. As a member in the 4-H Horse Project, you are expected to learn about your own horse, and horse breeds, safety, body colors, health, markings, care and how to determine a horse’s age. In addition, you will learn about shelter, grooming, training, judging, equipment, saddling and bridling, basic horsemanship and showing techniques. A good horsewoman or horseman trains herself or himself in addition to training horses. You will develop respect for your horse, responsibility in caring for your horse and discipline in the way you handle horses. You also will develop patience in training, neatness in your own and your horse’s appearance, and pride in yourself. You can participate in several activities through the 4-H Horse Project. Topics include western riding, English riding, horse safety, horse judging, horse bowl, horse demonstration, horse public speaking, hippology, riding for the disabled, and, for members without a horse, horseless projects. Once enrolled in the horse project, you can choose any or all of these options. Basic Requirements of the 4-H Horse Program* • Own or lease one or more horses (light horse, pony, draft horse or mule). Members may also lease a horse. (See lease agreement details in the Colorado 4-H Rule Book.) Horses must be identified with the State 4-H Horse Identification sheet by June 1 of the current year.
