Founder:One Trim.




This little Paso Fino had foundered three years prior. She had been shod for it ever since.


She was very sore. She would still be sore after pulling her shoes, but we were on the road to recovery.


What astounded me about this girl was that there was no reason, three years afterward, that her feet should look so freshly foundered. There was certinaly no reason she should be in pain.






This was how much we were able to take off in just one trim. When I finished the first foot, she immedietly began licking and chewing.








Jr's Story


JR's Story

JR was a little pony in a lot of pain when I met him. His heels as well as his toes were way too long. He had recently foundered for the 3rd time.





As usual, managment was an issue.
In just 4 weeks, and one trim, we had JR walking almost normally.







This is a video of the first day I met JR:

He could barely walk. It was important that he was trimmed immedietly, to allieviate the stress overgrown hoofwall puts on already imflamed lamanaie.

And this is JR just one month later. A huge improvement.
