This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Do It Yourselfers...
The product I borrowed, and liked, is called "It's A Holdup." The web site is <A HREF="http://www.extendinc.com/horseholdup/";>It's A Holdup! The HorseHoldup a patented new hoof rest for farriers, vets and</A> . It's a nifty item, much more stable than the other hoof stands I've seen. Karen mentioned Star Ridge -- I don't care for their hoof stand but they have a variety of other good quality hoof trimming/care items. I purchased my knife, rasp & nippers from them, in addition to hoof care books and amusing T-shirts :-) (One says, "Shoes on my horse? I don't think so!") Speaking of hoof trimming, is it true that Fjords have a flatter foot than other breeds? Barefoot trimming guides tend to recommend "concaving the sole" but I only remove tissue which is obviously dead and wanting to flake off. Same for nipping -- what needs to be removed comes off easily. It seems best (to me) to work with the shape the foot has naturally (unless, of course, it's badly deformed) rather than going for a text-book shape. Comments?
