Importance of caudal support easily shown here. As a farrier, shoeing a 17+ hand TB can be a nightmare at times. Sticking with and trusting the process is so important, both as a farrier or horse owner. Caudal aspect failure of this guy, shown on the left - with the dropped hairline and lack of heel height. This horse was known to have sensitivity and soundness issues. After a soft tissue injury, we applied size 3 Eggbars along with 3D frog support pads. On the right, just two shoeings later, a great improvement is shown in caudal function and heel height. Caudal stimulation, creating a healthy digital cushion. A casting was applied to help prevent shoe pulling but has not been needed lately. Horse is sound and moving great! These transformations make the job so rewarding (and exciting!) 🙂

Reintroducing the heart bar didn’t happen overnight, Texas farrier Blane Chapman says. It took trial and error before Burney Chapman and Dr. George Platt were successful. Eventually, educating farriers and veterinarians paid off. Technological advances enabled several techniques to achieve the effects of the heart bar.

Great time attending the International Hoof Care Summit. Pictures aren’t enough to describe the experience. So much learning from some great Farriers and clinicians. Also, such a pleasure working the trade show representing Kawell USA with some great partners and friends. Lastly, grateful to be invited to the Hall of fame dinner with Esco Buff. Until next year. Cheers
