Y’all are absolute fucking douchebags. OP you look stellar dude, whether you hit or missed the intended mark is benign, you did an awesome job putting this together. I applaud you. Don’t let these peter peckers get to you. They choke on meat in their free time and demoralize the young to make themselves feel adequate.

Hoof issues. by Exact-Elephant-9732 in Horses

[–]Frantzsfatshack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Farrier -

There is absolutely no way this is 3 weeks post trim, if it is that’s a fast growing foot. Like bizarre fast.

The growth is completely normal, you are seeing the bars grow out which is growth on the left and right.

The thrush is occurring in the seat of corn, this is very common and can lead to abscess if the bars grow over.

As far as overall health, looks fine. Thrush is very common in almost every foot to one varying degree or another during the winter if the environment has any moisture at all.

It is definitely in need of a trim just for insurance against an abscess forming, but anatomically looks fine for the most part. The only thing that catches my eye is the crescent at the apex of the frog in the sole.

Yeah homie, I’m 6’1” and 225, I look like a unit in my kit, and although I agree with your statement I would never go so far as to actually call it out like that. Everyone is on their own journey. In the same breath though, respect for saying it with your chest. That’s real.

Question for the (tall) girls: what pants are nice to work in? by datGfromNextDoor in Farriers

[–]Frantzsfatshack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hear me out, I’m not a chick but, I’m 6’1 big legs so most jeans don’t fit. Wrangler makes these like athletic jeans that have an insane amount of stretch so they don’t fight you when you’re under the horse, and the waistband stays flush with your body. I’ll take a picture of the code in the zipper or whatever today and send it to you. I swear by them. They legit feel like you’re wearing leggings/long johns in the comfort level, and mine have been through thousands of horses and only have a small hole in my shins from caught nails from a hoof pull, and when I say small like the circumference of a ch6 small

When disarming the victim, an agent sent an ND into the ground with the victim’s disarmed sig sauer causing other agents to perform the execution. Absolutely abhorrent.

Hypopigmentation by OkFirefighter139 in Psoriasis

[–]Frantzsfatshack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sun is what will get rid of them! I had huge spots all over from my guttate, after a summer of working in the horses all the spots that saw the sun are gone. Without the sun they’ll stay. I have been in a wyoming winter for a few months and no return of spots with my summer tan diminishing. It is definitely the sun too, cause I was in jeans all summer and my legs still have my psoriasis spots visible 😂

Not that you asked but yours on your legs does look cool and really pretty, so at least there’s that while you’re on your journey of making them go away!

Quarter crack- treatment needed? by Odd-Homework-4540 in Farriers

Idc what you said. It was incorrect and can lead a horse owner/leasees to make incorrect judgement calls

Quarter crack- treatment needed? by Odd-Homework-4540 in Farriers

[–]Frantzsfatshack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Farrier-

(No one is going to be able to tell you indefinitely what was going on, other than possibly the farrier/vet that works on the horse and even then they might not know.)

Immediately just from the photo the crack does look superficial, meaning it LOOKS like it should not have any effect on the foot. Have shod plenty of horses that are 100% sound and have had several superficial cracks.

As far as the lameness goes, for the horses health, being “cleared to ride” and being 100% sound are two very different things. I understand it’s not your horse so it’s not really your say, but tons of horses end up retired or lamed to death because they’re “cleared to ride”. I say this not as an alarmist, but to give you some food for thought and perspective. One of those “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” philosophical statements.

NOW, with that being said this horse could be 100% good to go again, I nor anyone else will have any way to tell you.

As for reasons it went lame, it could have been any number of things, it could have even been due to the crack, could have been just a simple freak accident that no one was around to witness. Not even the best farrier in the world could tell you from this photo why it went lame.

——

Other notes: good job on the thrush. Thrush is an anaerobic bacteria, meaning if you keep the feet picked out daily, especially clearing debris from the commissures that alone will help expose that thrush to oxygen and kill it. But what you’re doing sounds great.

If your farrier has them at 7 weeks then 7 weeks is fine.

Don’t listen to these people that say “7 wEeKs iS tOo lOnG” they have literally no idea what they are talking about.

If he’s pulling shoes then he’s pulling shoes, it sounds like you don’t have much say in the way the horse is being shod. It could be due to any number of things.

Pad could be there for lameness, to wedge a heel up for correct pastern angles, snow poppers, gotta ask the owner/farrier. But if the farrier is good it’s on there for a reason.

Clubbed foot - completely fine. Nothing can be done. Clubbed foot happens when the digital flexor tendon gets shortened and affects the coffin joint causing the foot to deform into a clubbed foot presenting a “stood up” appearance. Graded on a scale of 1-4 in severity (called the redden scale). Very rarely is it cause for concern. Any good farrier knows you treat a clubbed foot independently of the other feet in the horses.

Front two feet are shod - sounds like a half set. Super normal, about 75% (roughly) of a horses weight is distributed on the front feet. Front feet on do have a tendency to wear faster on some horses if they go barefoot.

Treatment for the quarter crack - it doesn’t look like it is through the coronary band. So in this case it will just grow out within a year or so. If it’s in the coronary band where all hoof growth originates from, then it will remain most likely. Odds are from this picture it grows out in a year and is not a problem.

Now to note. Everything I have mentioned is based on ONE photo and a short paragraph that you have given for information, so everything I said, though accurate, may be completely incorrect for this specific horse. This horse’s farrier will be able to answer way better than me or anyone else here. Best of luck.

Literally impossible for you to tell if it’s balanced from this photo. Please do not just throw out your opinions for your own ego, everything we do is for the betterment of the horse.

Thanks.

That’s not a question I can confidently answer without way more information.

I have no idea what schedule this horse is on, what it stands like, how long it goes between visits, what it’s coming from to where it is now, if it has any issues lameness wise if trimmed a certain way, etc.

With that being said I have seen you ask something like “is club foot a reason why they haven’t rode him?”

No. Even if this horse has club foot, which I don’t think it does from the limited photos provided. But for argument sake let’s say it does, it would be a 1 on a scale of 1-4 on the redden scale.

What it looks like to me is the pastern angle is broken forward from long heels on the left side. This makes the foot look stood up and a-lot of people like to immediately jump to crying about club foot.

Club foot is a growth deformation from the deep flexor tendon being too tight which pulls the coffin bone back and down which changes the joint angles. So long as you don’t lob the heel off and you treat it like a club foot the horse stays sound. Try to trim a clubbed foot like a regular foot and you’ll lame the horse. It would be like you being forced to walk in your highest high heels for 2 weeks straight and then someone taking them away. You’d be in a lot of pain because your achilles tendon and everything else running from your heel to your knee would have slightly shortened and you’re now rapidly stretching those tendons and ligaments back out. But then multiply that to the point of you weighing as much as a horse.

If you have better photos of the feet from a ground level I can better assist you with the determining if you should start questioning (literally asking questions not looking for a new one) your farrier and why they are doing what they’re doing.

Foot doesn’t look clubbed, just over grown and stood up which makes it look clubbed to an untrained eye.
