Smiles all round, because great teamwork starts from the ground up! 🐎😁

Behind every happy, sound horse is a skilled team, and farriers play a vital role. From maintaining balance and symmetry to supporting movement and performance, good hoof care is fundamental to a horse’s overall health and wellbeing.

A horse’s hooves grow continuously (typically around 6–10mm each month) and without regular attention, imbalances can quickly develop. These can place strain on joints, tendons, and ligaments, affecting both comfort and long-term soundness.

Whether a horse is shod or barefoot, correct farriery tailored to the individual is essential. Regular trimming or shoeing helps maintain proper hoof shape, supports weight distribution, and can help prevent issues such as cracks, uneven wear, and lameness.

It’s often said ‘no foot, no horse’ and for good reason! Strong, healthy hooves are the foundation of everything they do.

We’re proud to celebrate the people who keep horses moving, one hoof at a time!

Extraordinarily privileged to work with this amazing team in the World Class Programme 🇬🇧 I’ve worked with them since they started on the Podium Potential Pathway back when Fanta was a weak & wobbly baby 🥰 They have worked so unbelievably hard and absolutely deserve all the success they are currently enjoying & I cannot wait to see them out flying the flag for Team GB 🇬🇧 this year!

It was such a surprise to be on the front page of British Dressage magazine with the most special boy Fanta. It was so lovely chatting to Helen Triggs about our journey and how Georgie Nicholls Dressage and I work together.
Fanta deserves this so much for everything he has done for me and he really is my perfect partner 🥰
Thank you so much for this opportunity.

The foot is where the rest of the body rights its mistakes.

This horse presented with weakness behind and a clear pelvic asymmetry, which caused the right hind limb to rotate outward in the stride. That rotation created a mild fetlock varus and consistent overloading of the inside heel of the right hind.

The horse was shod with a Mustad Hoofcare Libero concave using Libero concave nails, with a medial branch float and A35 dental impression material to unload the inside heel while maintaining stability across the rest of the foot.

The aim was simple; reduce the focal overload and allow the horse to push more evenly behind.

The difference in the horse’s gait has been clear; the limb now loads more evenly and the horse is able to push through the stride with far better symmetry and, as is often the case, the foot was simply where the body had been leaving the evidence.
