DID YOU KNOW...

-for every 1 centimeter of extra toe length- this results in an extra 50 kilograms of force acting on the tendons

-1 degree drop in sole angle where the DDFT inserts into the coffin bone (affected by Palmar Angle) can lead to a 4% increase in the pressure exerted by the DDFT on the Navicular bone

These simple facts highlight how important it is to keep your horses on tight shoeing schedule and receive correct trimming/shoeing to give them a long and successful career.

Why do I like horses? I think I must be mad.
My mother wasn't horsey- and neither was my dad.
But the madness hit me early- and it hit me like a curse.
And I've never gotten better. In fact I've gotten worse.
I hardly read the paper- but I know who's sold their horse.
And I wouldn't watch the news- Unless Mr Ed was on , of course
One eye's always on the heavens-but my washing waves in vain
As I rush to get the horses in- in case it's gonna rain.
I spend up every cent I've got - On horsey stuff for sure.
I buy saddles, bridles, fancy boots - and then I buy some more
I can't sew on a button - I don't even try
But I can back a truck and trailer - in the twinkling of an eye.
It's jeans and boots that I live in night and day
And that smell of sweaty horses just doesn't wash away.
I ache from long forgotten falls. My knees have got no skin.
My toes have gone a funny shape - from being stomped on again and again.
But late at night, when all is still- and I've gone to give them hay,
I touch their velvet softness and my worries float away.
They give a gentle nicker and the nuzzle through my hair
And I know it's where my heart is ----more here than anywhere
