General day-to-day shoeing
- Hot or Cold
- The difference between these shoes are only for myself really. The steel is much easier to shape when
it is hot and it doesn't make any difference to the pony/horse. Young ponies/horses are normally done
cold to start with, as the smoke can startle them and then as they trust and understand you, we start
to do them hot.
- Foot trimming
- This is where the foot (hoof) is trimmed back to balance and level the foot to the correct HPA (Hoof
Pastern Axis). This keeps the foot in a safe working order and is the most important part of the job!
No foot, no horse!
- Show plates
- This includes raceing plates and shoes for shows/dressage. They are light weight shoes or aluminium
shoes.
- Any remedial work i.e.
- - Bar shoes (Heart bars, egg bars and straight bars)
- - Glue-on Shoes (Mainly for Laminitic ponies who are too sore to nail a shoe on)
- - Lateral Extensions (Help build up the foot that has had a problem to return back to normal)
- - Built-up Shoes (Raised heels for arthritic ponies/horses, tendon problems or navicular cases)
Happy to work alongside vets and share knowledge and information to get the job done to the best of all our abilities.
