Neil Daly

Pyper, my mare suffered from extremely long toe, low heel, low palmer angles and crushed digital cushions.  She was presenting lame in all four feet with limited range of motion in her hip and hocks.  She was reluctant to move, depressed and unable to perform even the simplest dressage movements.  I was very fortunate to get help from Dr. Myers' team.  Dr. Tookie Myers is a Veterinarian/Farrier from the US specialized in difficult hoof pathology and he partnered with my local Canadian farrier, Neil Daly who accepted to take on our case.  Neil was able to perform precise trimming corrections and apply therapeutic shoes.  Dr. Myers provided the farrier prescription by interpreting a series of balanced radiographs while his team took digital videos and photo series of the hooves and evaluated the horse in motion. We also addressed her nutrition and turnout. This holistic approach saved my mare that had been suffering for years with excruciating pain and pathology that if left unchecked would cause irreversible damage and inevitable death.

I would like to thank Neil and the whole team for their relentless perseverance and dedication.  Last week my Veterinarian came out and assessed my mare’s movement and was very impressed with her level of soundness and flexibility.  When I look at her now playful attitude, cheerfulness and positive work ethic, I see a miraculous transformation.
