green grass this
foundered horse

now has a muzzle

What can one trim do? Ask Midnight...one hind hoof
Silver was rescued from
neglect nearly two years
ago. To the left at set-up
trim and rt. 2 years later.
With a little help from Tod's
trimming the toe back in
between trims we have
Silver's toes on the
ground!This type of healing
typically does take several
hoof cycles see (4TH
DIMENSION ) but the
persistence has paid off in
the end. Below are a few
shots along the way...
Dudley with "two club
feet" has much better
mobility with a proper
toe angle...
Above are before and 1 1/2
years later healing quarter
cracks to the right-
Willie rebalanced a lf club
foot with a terrible toe

Silver & Cherokee
Rowdy Jean-two chronic foundered club feet
left- Denny winter 07 to Nov. 08 from
an unbalanced club foot founder to
sound in one year with diet changes
left-Jenny when she was
first saved and one year
later...not bad
considering it took
Rachel six months to get
her trusting enough to let
me trim her! Only five
trims this year, but she is
coming along great!
Poor Jean, IR, PPID, two club feet, blind in one eye...but still top dog out
in the pasture!
She was a rescue and one of the early premarin foals, but thanks to
Helen and the PEGASUS FOUNDATION she has had a home for life and
will always hold a special place in my heart. She is the hardest case I've
come across thus far...some things just are and can only be the best they
can be-just for today...... Thanks for looking!

Jean 5 years into natural hoof care..left front hoof pictured to the left...
they may look better, but her condition is chronic. The heels grow so quickly and are
extremely high, so the frog remains passive...

When Judy bought this sweet
draft mare, no one told her
that she had foundered...
Goldie trying to heal..blood and pus ooze out the
coronet.... three months out of shoes...
