heavenly-hooves.square.site Christina has rode and trained horses of all ages, sizes and breeds, from Arabians to Warmbloods, and Mustangs to gaited horses. She has trained with a variety of instructors from Grand Prix riders, to Natural Horsemanship trainers and believes you can learn something from everyone and every horse. She has ridden and showed in a variety of disciplines, from Dressage, to

low-level eventing, Saddleseat, endurance riding, trail competitions, and rail classes. Currently she trains and instructs students at Hidden Hills Farm & Saddle Club in Ooltewah, TN, and at private farms in the area, as well as being a Natural Barefoot Trimmer. Training, riding and instructing from a strong Dressage and Natural Horsemanship base, Christina has melded the best qualities of Natural horsemanship with Dressage to create a unique training style that focuses on biomechanics for the horse and rider. Working always with the classic principals of gymnasticizing the horses body through dressage movements, gaining respect, and trust on the ground through Natural Horsemanship and putting the horses needs before competitive goals has allowed her to create amazing partners for any discipline.

Always advocate for you horse! I don't mind adjusting things if you tell me how your horse feels. I'm never there just to make money, I'm there to help you and your horse be healthy and comfortable and do the job you need them to do.
Also....rehabbing feet in extreme distortion takes time, upwards of 2 years sometimes, and there's usually speed bumps along the way, be patient but prepared with the process. Hoof boots are amazing now, there is so many many kinds, some with interchangeable padding, and many can adjust as your horses feet change.

Not bitter or upset about this as there is always another horse, another barn and another new friend to make elsewhere, but this is the truth and reality, and sometimes if you're the client I dread coming to because your horse is unruly, always dirty, you don't listen to my advice on feeding/bodywork movement, and you have 0 consideration for where we trim.... you're probably the one going to get fired. 🤷🏻‍♀️
(99% of my clients are true gems and I'm so blessed to know each one of you and your lovely horses 🫶🏼)

Check out the picture of this pony in the comments when he was alive. Would you say that was extremely obese? Probably not, but the fat layers she's cutting through say differently!!

This is long and very deep and scienc-y, so read if you're that person, if not, I will summarize:

In a healthy hoof the limbs/tendons etc are better able to withstand extreme force. In a laminitic hoof this is not the same thing as the hoof integrity is compromised already.
So a long toe on a healthy hoof will hold up for a quite a while. However a long toe on a compromised laminitic foot will not.
In either case long toes create a lever arm (see the man holding the bar and weights - toe getting longer) and getting the hoof in balance is the goal.
How you go about it (shoes, trimming, glue-ons, boots) is entirely up to you and your hoof care provider or vet.
I will say this also, the toe cannot be shortened extremely and immediately if the back half of the foot is not functional or healthy. Ie; weak/contracted heels, thrush in the central sulcus, etc. or you'll be setting the horse up for failure and pain.
