This episode is probably more geared towards pros just based on the conversation- but podcasts aren’t really an avenue for visuals so definitely check out Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners webinars and clinics!

I totally understand, podcasts are difficult that way!

It’s just something you put under carpet, I use a felt pad with similar results

Thank you

You’d have to contact her - she has her own podcast as well

Dr. DeClue doesn’t monitor this as she was just a guest on the podcast but you can find her contact online I believe!

I have not necessarily seen it progress- but these questions would be good for Dr. DeClue. there can be mild cases yes

@@TheHumbleHoof thx! Accupunture is more lymph oriented than neuralogical, so maybe not so helpful in these/this illness?

I personally haven’t seen acupuncture used for stringhalt so I’m not sure

@@TheHumbleHoof thank you❤

So glad it was helpful! Sounds like you have a great trimmer

Dr. Kellon’s protocol with jiaogulan, AAKG, and ALCAR is inexpensive and very effective at managing discomfort and helping with soft tissue health.

I follow ECIR diet for all my rehab cases. Forage based and mineral balanced. You can learn more on the webinar I did with Wendy Murdoch on KZbin called “The Owners Role in Hoof Rehab”

For the example in this video I simply pulled her shoes and put her in boots. Every single horse is different and a trim that will help one with cripple another. You should never prescribe a trim to any horse without seeing it in person- you can cause a lot of damage that way.

@@TheHumbleHoof I get that, but you could have explained the treatment for that particular horse that you were working on. Then you can explain that this may not be the remedy for every horse.

@@Jim_Sanders. in this video, I did not trim the horse - the improved landing is simply by putting on the boots. There was no corrective trim, hence no need to explain it. In fact, Rockley Farm who rehabs navicular cases from toe first landings to heel first doesn't trim at all - they allow the horse to wear their own feet. When I pull shoes I simply roll the walls to prevent chipping and do not do a full trim. The difference in this video is ONLY the application of boots - NOT a trim, which is what I said in the video.

​@@TheHumbleHoofsorry? about 1:12 "after the initial trim..." . I'm confused... and desperate for information to help my mare

@@judymiller5154 my “initial trim” is nothing but rolling the wall to prevent chipping. Trim advice online would likely cripple your mare- and is VERY dangerous. I have years of free resources online including a webinar on “The Owners Role in Hoof Rehab” that will be helpful. 75% of the cases I see are fine with just diet adjustment and boots and pads as with this mare.

Thank you!

This is Horse Guard!

There are a lot of resources! Check out "What's the Deal with Navicular," an article I wrote, on The Humble Hoof blog

No diagnosis but my boy has been on rest for ages and I've been worried and planning on getting scans. This is encouraging, we changed farriers just through circumstances of availability and he went from super sound to having regular issues over the past year. We have gone back to the original farrier now, only one trim last week so far.. he looks more comfortable already. I have also returned to feeding konkes calxtra.. we live in the tropics, calcium is a big deal. I will investigate further now!

I think it is a mixture of being concerned with appearance and also wanting to assess issues before they become lameness

@@TheHumbleHoof does a grade 1 or 2 club foot necessarily imply lameness is forthcoming?

@@marquesjones5277 if a foot is more upright than another it can mean the horse is off-weighting it more than the other foot, suggesting possible low grade lameness
