Hi Maria, Depends on the individual horse. Some things to consider: - lateral wall is flared so sole appears wider to compensate - medial heel run further forward, twisting hoof capsule laterally

Hi all! Do you know what´s the reason for an uneven hoof development when you see it from it´s sole view? When I pick up the hoof (it is a hind one and barefoot) and divide it in a straight line

The dose for Jiaogulan is "to effect" - whatever it takes to turn the gums/tongue a deeper pink/red. See the file here: https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/filessearch?q=jiaogulan I believe you are

Mary I have Under the Horse DVD's I would be happy to give you. Send me your address if you would like them. -- Suzy Nebraska 2019

Is the dose for Jiaogulan 1g for 100lbs or 1g for 500lbs? Also I haven't had as much time as I would like to look at posts from this group. What I have seem on hoof advice looks great. The

That's strange customs held it so long, Pat. I've been getting vitE, jiaogulan and just recently ALCAR from my best horse (4 separate orders over the last year) and I find it takes about 2 weeks.

Thanks Lavinia I’ll order some from Best Horse then. I bought my Jiagulan from them but customs held it 9 weeks. -- Pat and Savannah

Yes, you can use the alcar intended for humans but it's not cost effective or simple. Horse dosing is 1g/100lbs body weight, so for an average 1000lb horse that's 10g. As it's usually in 500mg capsule

Hi all, just wondering, is arginine is natural or is it synthetically made in pharmaceuticals? just wondering

Can I buy alcar people kind at drug store? -- Pat and Savannah

LJ I dont give anything for pain. Wears boots when required. Jaiagulan BID is all she gets that might help with pain. Bute and Previcox aren’t recommended for IR horses. -- Pat and Savannah

I use a full size, 20v angle grinder with a 4.5in, 40 grit flap disc much of the time - which makes really quick work of things. I've used a 10.8v cordless dremel, with the coarsest flap wheel

Hi Pat, Frustrating for both you and Savannah, I'm sure, as you've done so much to help her get better. Because Savannah is PPID/IR all discussions regarding her should remain on the main group -

Hoping to get advice with regards to how Savannah’s trims are going. We must be doing something wrong. Still very underrun and never seems to be any improvement. Can’t seem to bring the heels

What dremel and dremel head have you used?

Years ago, I remember my farriers complaining about hooves that were too hard to use a knife on. Soaking can definitely help if you can mange it. Power tools, however, don't care so adding a grinder

Jessica, Deb is right, the general advice is to soak the hoof to soften it before trimming. You'll have to experiment with how long to soak. I feel your pain though, my boy's feet get rock hard in
