HORSE WITH BACK PAIN? WATCH THIS!

One of the contributing factors that we commonly see as a problem in performance horses is NEGATIVE PLANTAR ANGLES, which can result in CAUDAL HEEL FAILURE! In this video Lee Olsen CJF explains how we fix this problem and help these horses get to feeling 100% again!

[@olsenequinecjf]

Thank you very much! Just trying to make horses everywhere happier!

[@pattyann2108]

I applaud your knowledge and contribution to helping horses. However, I believe most all performance horses need a break to heal, with shoes off, and the the ability to roam a pasture to regain their natural health again. Most feet and leg (and other issues) are caused by the owners need to compete. It's quite sad for the horses.

[@JulieIelasi-lt7yp]

💯 percent without shoes the horses roam free to heal the hoof

I can see this guy at 8 years old with his dad or Grandpaw or old Mexican horse trainer learning this trade. Awesome!

I almost pass out 😮😮😮... I had not idea that those horse shoes needed to be 🔥🥵. 👍 Great job 🙏

[@olsenequinecjf]

Not all horseshoers use what we call "hot fitting", which is when the shoe is placed and basically burns onto the hoof, making it lay flat and balanced! We hot fit the majority of the horses we shoe!

[@lesleyewen-foster3629]

I loved this video. I am in no way knowledgeable like a farrier. There was the angle you showed us at the beginning which pointed toward the belly. I'd have liked to see that same angle after your correction. Thank you for posting.

[@kevinferguson3196]

I leave my horse bare foot. However, he has a good sliding stop that I don't ask for while not riding in an arena with good dirt. My thoughts are, it wouldn't be good idea to do it on, let's say, a sandy two track while trail riding. Your thoughts? Thanks

I want to use pads on my mare because she's had heel breakdown and soreness. However, she also has a tendency to get thrush, with the clay and mix help keep it from getting thrushy?

[@olsenequinecjf]

Yes maam! The clay we use will keep the sole from having harmful bacteria enter underneath!

[@2ncielkrommalzeme210]

the material blue material can humans apply to their plantarfacidies. to support the arch. in my approach from video it can be .is it wrong?

[@olsenequinecjf]

So the blue material in the video is Mustads Soft Cushion ComfortMix! It is a dental impression that hardens when the 2 ingredients are combined. It works similar to an insole of a shoe, yes, supporting the hoof while providing some cushioning!

[@jillkovac8051]

So did dubbing the toe cause caudal heel failure

[@olsenequinecjf]

There are a number of contributing factors to this issue, but imbalanced shoeing and conformation are 2 of the biggest factors in getting to a negative point!

[@covedweller6008]

How long does it take for that back hoof to grow out so you don’t have to do that moulding material to make the shoe fit?

[@olsenequinecjf]

Hello! The dental impression is not used to make the shoe fit, it is used as cushion to soften the pressure on the hoof and make each step more comfortable!

[@jenniferlehman326]

​@cattymajiv Hello Narb!! I love it when you say hello!! All the mares are doing well, they are getting nice and fat and still sassy. Fat as in pregnant fat, not overweight fat. I'm very careful with their dietary needs. They are on a grain for pregnant and lactating mares, a little red cell, to keep their blood levels up, some spirea for coat and hoof health and some salt and trace minerals. Other than that, free choice hay of good quality, it's an alfalfa grass mix and they just love it!! I hope you are doing well, and please, always feel free to say hello!! Love Jenn 💖

This horse has been performing better already the owners tell us!

[@gilbertdelgado6703]

Great, informative video. I am an old fart now and sad to say, the closest I have ever got to learning something about horse hooves was when I was a little fart. I went across the road that separated my grand parents farm from the one across the road. I went over there for the purpose of riding my friends horse and dang it she didn’t step on my big toe and she didn’t push worth a darn. But I did learn to 1. Don’t ride horses bare foot and 2. Watch where you put your foot cause the horse don’t give a rat’s ass where she put’s her’s! I should have just stayed at my Grandma’s and rode the pigs, they were easier to push around and they fit in our chutes. My cousin and I were in hog heaven, literally, when we rode our rough stock.

[@olsenequinecjf]

At the end of the day we do this job for the love of the horse! Something we all can relate to!

[@trickedouttech321]

Wait what did you just say this horse with conformation problem surgeries and more is being used as a barrel horse. This is the problem with equestrians today they have zero common sense and zero knowledge of the animal called the horse. it is just f**ked up. In fact, I think now his health issues are not conformation I am looking at him, he has great conformation. He is probably being abused and misused in barrel racing. No in fact I know he is. The fact that he has a spine problem and they are still barrel-racing him tells me all I need to know. No, I am not some kind of activist. I love horses. then they are great animals and humans should and can use them for work and ride them. However, I completely believe in doing what is best for the animal sense we are taking control of its life and death. If they made up some rules that stopped people from riding like animals and abusing the horse in barrel racing I would be fine with it. But that is not the case. One good rule could be the human's feet can not lift off the side of the horse more than 2 inches. Another good rule could be the Butt of the human must stay in contact with the saddle at all times. Oh, and no Leverage bits barrel racers are literally hanging on the horse's fact. I don't have a problem with leverage bit just a problem with abusing the animal with them. Show me one barrel racer that is not pulling 50lb or more on the horse's face. 50lbs is not hard to pull, so the bit is putting 250lbs. My seven-year-old daughter can pull 50lbs using reins. So my number might be a little off but you get the point. I can there guy how to help this horse. Embarrass the owner for barrel racing a horse with health issues like this. If every professional they had to work with scolded them for the abuse they would stop.

[@dannonya8783]

Can you explain to me what changes happen after you have shod this way does it help spread the heal or help the heel grow going into the next growth cycle

[@olsenequinecjf]

Hello! Adding these pads promotes healthy heel growth for the next cycle, to start getting a horse growing in the right direction and fixing issues such as collapsed heels, NPA, etc!

[@jargibbs]

Great video Lee! Thank you for explaining what you are doing. Does the 3d pad work better than a bar shoe? Are you floating the heals at all? Thank you

[@olsenequinecjf]

In this case the 3D pad adds a bit of wedge to promote healthy growth and hopefully get this horse on the right track, which is why we elected to not use a bar shoe.

[@fionabarton2258]

Great explanation. My horse had lumbar and SI issues which have greatly improved with the 3D pads. Would like to have seen how you shaped the pad to the shoe.

[@olsenequinecjf]

Great suggestion! We have a couple videos on our page that shoe the process of putting a pad on a shoe, but its a great idea to make an updated version on it! Thank you!

We have a tame wild burro that comes around with a long hoof (just one rear) that sets her foot down too weird. It doesn;t seem to affect her too much. Is it a problem and is there anything we can do to help her? She won't lett us touch her foot.

[@olsenequinecjf]

The best first step would be working on taming her enough to work on that hoof and get a proper trim on it! Sadly otherwise, without a trim, there isnt much to do for her!

[@edstimator1]

I appreciate the response. I don't see her getting that tame so I guess I will just continue to worry about her Fortunately, at least for the moment, she seems to be ok, but I don't see how it is going to resolve itself. Wish we could sedate her but just trying to locate her at a given time would be a miracle. Nature is a beast. @@olsenequinecjf
