Echo In Rennies

Note; This horse is Echo in Renegade Hoof Boots.

All hoofs off the ground and awesome heal first landings.

Ellie's Horse

Well let's see where this goes

This is the right size hoof boot for this horse. But my chances or getting it to stay on I think is very slim. His heals are so contracted. The boot shows it off so well.

I have taken off the shoes and given him a barefoot trim. Will go back to him in six weeks time and see how things have progressed.

I have been shoeing this horse for a couple of years now and although the owner ( Ellie ) tells me his hooves are better than they have ever been they are still not ok.

Conditions are also not ideal. The country here is just so wet.

Watch this space.

Kathy's Horse

When I arrived at this job I told the owner off ( Kathy )
I could not believe it when I saw this horse. A severe case of shear neglect ( sorry Kathy )
But this has to be said.

and still with his shoes on

Well off with all the crap underneath
Starting to look like it may have reasonable hoofs.

And
The first trim.
And believe it or not the horse trotted off like nothing had been done.
I warned Kathy to restrict his movements for a few days as oh boy have I changed a few things here.
Anyway she tells be he is now booting around the paddock like a two year old. His old self again.
I have just had an email telling me next time I am out there to fit him into Renegades. So watch this space. To be updated soon.

Fitting of Nutmeg's Boots

All trimmed and ready to go

After a couple of weeks of wet wet wet weather we finally got a day of sunshine. So took the opportunity to go and fit the Renegade Boots to Murray and Karen's horses. After cleaning out all the mud and a bit of wire brushing finally got something that looked clean.

First boot on

A matching pair

Then trotted him out and it was as if he had been born with them
