Real-Life Cases Where Our Consultation Services Have Made a Difference
- Case of Chronic Lameness: A horse suffering from chronic lameness, despite regular farrier care, was brought to us for a consultation. Our detailed assessment uncovered subtle hoof imbalances that had been missed in previous treatments. We implemented a customized shoeing strategy that corrected these imbalances, leading to a significant improvement in the horse’s movement and comfort, ultimately resolving the lameness.
- Performance Optimization for a Show Jumper: A high-performance show jumper with inconsistent competition results was evaluated through our consultation services. We adjusted the shoeing technique to better align with the horse’s biomechanics, focusing on enhancing balance and traction. This led to more consistent performances, with the horse showing improved agility and success in competitions.
- Preventive Care for a Young Horse: A young horse, just beginning its training, was assessed as a preventive measure. Although there were no existing hoof issues, we provided a tailored hoof care plan to support the horse’s development and prevent future problems. As a result, the horse has continued to train without any hoof-related setbacks, ensuring a strong foundation for its future career.
