Each day, American Farriers Journal encounters a variety of articles, social media posts, podcasts and videos that offer a unique look at an aspect of the equine industry. Our favorite content for "This Week" is aggregated here. We hope it offers a useful tip to improve your hoof-care business, expands your knowledge by giving you something new to ponder, or entertains you when you need a break most.
Hoof-Care Highlights is brought to you by Kawell USA.
Kawell USA originally began as a project to develop a copper alloy horseshoe that could help in the treatment of hoof diseases in horses, by using copper's natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. After years of development and research, we now offer horseshoes, bar stock and frog inserts that are made from our EPA approved copper alloy that is proven to combat bacteria and fungus related to thrush, seedy toe, and white line disease.
Balance & Suspensory Strain
The Equine Documentalist provides a visual illustration of the strain that occurs on the tendons and suspensory ligaments with a long toe and weight shifted onto the cannon bone.
White Line Disease Shoeing
Oklahoma Horseshoeing School presents a severe case of white line disease and explains how the horse was treated and shod to make it comfortable.
Craig Trnka
Idaho farrier Caleb Erikson of The Dying Breed podcast sits down with Hall of Famer Craig Trnka to discuss his life, career and advice for other farriers.
Shoe Fit & Pulling
Progressive Equine Services & Hoof Care Centre gives farriers some suggestions on proper shoe fit while still minimizing shoe loss.
