Hi Barbara, The split improved dramatically with mineral balancing. It's more like the hoof wall growing down is softer and easily broken away, so by the time it reaches the ground it was

Diann, I will be posting photos with the help of Nancy. I'll post when they are up. Thanks, Barbara

I took some photos yesterday after my trimmer was finished, but am not happy with how they turned out. I will take them again tomorrow and will be in touch then. Thanks, Barbara

Kirsten, Your boy's split sounds like my mare's. Same location and possible past injury at the coronet band. In your boy's case, the split has never gone away? Has it got narrower? Has it

Hi Barbara Please get some photos of the feet for review here. I can upload them. My boy Gabe had a permanent insult on his right hind from the coronary band that needed attention at every trim to

That's great that the vet thinks it should grow out. It's likely a light trim will need to be done every couple weeks to keep the wall near the split hoof out of ground contact, but I wouldn't go

Barbara A mod has to upload them for you, Lavinia is on vacation so maybe start a new thread with the topic with maybe pictures to upload. I can’t remember who is covering.

I just got some good news from the veterinarian who was here to vaccinate another person's horses. I consulted with her on my mare. She said that the split does not go all the way to the coronet so

I did not start a case history for my mare in the main ECIR case histories as she is not IR and does not have PPID. Would I need to start a case history in order to post photos? Or can those photos

Case history? Need hoof picks at least. Depending on what is causing the crack (coronet damage or poor past trimming) will determine what plan of action needs to be taken. I have worked on many

My percheron cross mare has a split in her right front hoof that appears to go all the way to the coronary band. It is at the back of the outside quarter, has separated a section of hoof from the

I really like the Hoof Jack. I have been using mine for more than 10 years and it has held up great. It has magnets for holding onto your tools, a cradle, a hoof stand and is adjustable in height.

Check out the small "Hoofit" stand. I really like it, especially for the oldies. Sara Gooch, 2011, NE California

I have another off brand, Hoof-It, that saves a few dollars. It is fine for my purposes. The thumbscrew that holds the cradle or stand isn't as nice, and it doesn't have a magnet for tools. -- Cass,

I find the Hoof Jack stand to be too wide, it trips me up and gets in the way. I like the Barefoot Blacksmith's stand, on the low height post for my oldies. Hoof Stands - The Barefoot Blacksmith

Oops, forgot another option--cast over pads, then glue a Superfast 'shoe' onto the cast to add height and prevent wear to the cast. There's a brilliant video of this but it's on the private FB group,

If Cavallo's BFB boots aren't big enough, the only other option I know of are custom made Hoofwing boots. I have seen one pair in-person and they were very well crafted and durable, quite
