Proper farrier work is essential for rehabilitating horses after the long neglect they've suffered. While some horses can go barefoot, others require corrective shoes and pads -- to each according to their needs, oftentimes verified by veterinary X-rays. To ensure these horses are fully sound, or as sound as they can be, before being rehomed, is crucial to making sure these horses find their " happily ever after."
High Z, whose feet were nearly as long as Buck Tuddy Buck's at the time of rescue, has had a number of old abscesses cut out since his first trim, back in January. Today, there was a light at the end of the tunnel! Although a number of bruises are still coming to the sole surface, they're fewer and farther between.
Adele also got her first set of shoes, so her re-training can begin, and Never Kneeling got a full set of shoes, to give her weak pasterns additional support. As well as almost everyone else being due today.
All in all, today's farrier bill came to $625. Not bad, considering the amount of corrective work most of these horses need!
