Meet Maddie

Picture
Maddie is a Saddlebred Cross that I met July 23rd 2009. She was having some severe lameness issues, and was referred by another natural hoofcare practitioner. Her owner, Glenn had been trimming his 2 horses by himself for quite a few years now, and doing a decent job. this was beyond his comfort zone.  Whin I picked up her feet, I realized that what I thought were just overgrown hooves were severely foundered; to the point of coffin bone penetration of both soles in the front feet! Glenn, followed all of my instructions including diet change, soaking schedules and frequent trimming. And Maddie was ridable again by November of the same year.

Maddie's first trim 7/23/2009
