Frustratingly, another farrier having to write another post asking people to pay their bills.

Please pay your farrier. It’s a career, not a hobby.

We provide a service, and like everyone else, we have bills to pay. Please don’t make us chase you for payment.

Ruben unfortunately came down with laminitis recently and, despite box rest and all the usual management, he wasn’t making the improvement we’d hoped for.

We decided to apply a pair of Squish Pads to give him some additional support and comfort, and the improvement has already been huge.

Squish Pads are a soft, supportive hoof pad that helps redistribute weight across the foot, cushions the sole and provides support to the back of the hoof. They’re also glued directly onto the hoof, meaning there’s no need for nails and no additional trauma from hammering or concussion through the foot.

For a laminitic horse, this can provide valuable support while minimising further stress on an already painful foot.

It’s still early days, but it’s great to see Ruben feeling more comfortable and heading in the right direction. 🤞🐴

Another reminder of how important the right support and management can be when dealing with laminitis.

⚠️ Hard ground warning ⚠️

The recent extended period of dry weather has really caused the ground to harden up. Are you aware of the risks of riding on hard ground?

🐎 Exercising your horse on hard ground can cause concussion-related lameness issues. When the horse’s hoof meets the ground, it’s subjected to a great deal of concussive force.

When the ground is softer, it absorbs some of the impact and provides cushioning to the foot - but the harder the ground, the less force is absorbed and the more stress on the horse.

It’s not only ridden horses who are at risk of concussive injuries from hard ground - any retired oldies who like to show you they’ve still got it by galloping round their paddock can also do themselves some damage! If this sounds like your horse, consider bringing them in a little earlier than usual.

Shod horses are also at greater risk from hard ground than unshod horses, as unshod horses actually absorb some of the concussive forces through their frogs.

Hard ground can cause injuries like:
🔵 Jarring injuries
⚪️ Tendon and ligament injuries
🔵 Bruised soles
⚪️ Splints
🔵 Concussive laminitis
⚪️ Pedal bone fractures

You can reduce the risk by:
🔵 Trying not to work your horse on hard ground too often
⚪️ Choosing softer surfaces for jumping where possible
🔵 Apply cold water after hard work
⚪️ Maintain your horse’s overall fitness/strength
🔵 Listen to your individual horse

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of my wonderful clients for your patience and understanding while I took some time away to enjoy life with our new baby girl.

We have been completely overwhelmed by all of the thoughtful gifts, cards and kind messages you've sent. Your generosity has been incredible and has meant so much to both Paris and I. You've made such a special time in our lives even more memorable, and we're truly grateful.

A special thank you also to Nick for covering my work while I've been away. Knowing my clients and their horses were in such good hands gave me the chance to fully enjoy these precious first weeks as a family, and I can't thank him enough.

Thank you all for your kindness and support 🫶

⚠️⚠️⚠️GRAPHIC CONTENT ⚠️⚠️⚠️

A hugely rewarding moment today putting Frank's shoes back on after more than a year of treating canker.

This outcome was only possible thanks to the incredible dedication, persistence, and commitment of his owners, alongside careful management and treatment every step of the way.

It has been a very challenging case, requiring regular visits, frequent monitoring, and multiple resections in conjunction with the vet. There were times when progress felt slow, but today is a reminder of what can be achieved through patience, teamwork, and consistency.

Frank has been an absolute star throughout the entire process and has taken everything in his stride when at times I'm sure he was very sore and sick of the sight of us. Seeing him back in shoes today makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Can anyone help?

*** Looking for a companion not to rehome ***

I have a client with two lovely donkeys in a beautiful 5-star home. Sadly, one has suddenly passed away, leaving the other very distressed and alone.

If anyone knows of anyone looking to rehome a single donkey, please get in touch. It would mean the world to give this remaining donkey some companionship again.

Laminitis ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Just a courtesy reminder to everyone that it’s that time of year again where laminitis becomes a real risk.

I’ve already seen my first case this week with the recent good weather, so please be extra mindful of your ponies as they start grazing on fresh spring grass.

I highly recommend downloading the Laminitis App (available on all app stores). It’s location-based and gives a really good indication of daily risk levels—well worth it and far cheaper than a vet visit.

Stay vigilant 👍

Canker

This is a rare condition, and this is the first case I have personally managed. With veterinary assistance and intervention, all diseased and unhealthy tissue has been carefully removed. A custom hospital plate has been fabricated and fitted, allowing it to be securely attached and removed as needed. This enables the hoof to be treated, medicated, and packed on a daily basis to support recovery and prevent reinfection.

Equine canker is a rare chronic, progressive, and difficult-to-treat disease of the hoof that requires early recognition and a comprehensive management approach, involving veterinary diagnosis, aggressive debridement, targeted antimicrobial therapy, strict environmental hygiene, and ongoing farriery care to achieve successful resolution.

PRICE ADJUSTMENT NOTICE

Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know that from 1st April 2026, there will be a small increase to my pricing.

With ongoing inflation and rising costs across products, materials, and overheads, this wasn’t an easy decision to make. I’ve absorbed increases for as long as possible, but to continue delivering the same high standards and premium finish, a slight adjustment is now necessary.

As a VAT-registered business, all prices include VAT — which is paid directly to HM Revenue & Customs — and not retained by the business. This adjustment simply ensures the service remains sustainable while maintaining the level of quality you expect.

Prices from 1st April 2026

Full Set: £95.83 + VAT = £115.00
Half Set (with hind trim): £66.67 + VAT = £80.00
Trim: £37.50 + VAT = £45.00

I genuinely appreciate your continued support and look forward to continuing to look after your equines.
