Synthetic Shoeing for Problem Hooves
"Goodsmith led to significantly better hoof growth after just one application"
Hallo ihr Lieben,
I'm Lisa, 28 years old, a trained social insurance clerk and graduate business administrator; working part-time as a hoof care professional (bmg – LTZ Michael Zanger).
Águst; Icelandic horse *2009, gelding, ridden well for leisure, natural tölter, enjoys gymnastic training and talented in the arena (also in basic gaits). No competition use so far due to previous illnesses. He lives during the day in a group of three (stallion, gelding and himself), at night in a single box; pasture turnout depending on weather from April to November for hours or overnight
Hufsituation: underrun heels front right, diagonal hoof front right, barely any sole concavity on all four hooves, very soft horn – resulting in frequent problems with stones in the white line; not sensitive, but always ridden with Renegades on trails; temporarily had a different type of synthetic shoe glued on, but lost it at every interval within max. 2 weeks on at least one hoof; previously had steel shoes, but often had hoof abscesses and incorrect loading; the incorrect loading and diagonal hoof led to a heel collapse and extremely steep medial wall angle front right and very flat lateral wall as well as a pushed-up medial heel bulb; hind hooves unproblematic.
Águst requires a trimming interval of max. 6 weeks in front, the hind could go a bit longer but is of course done at the same time. The Goodsmith synthetic shoe led to significantly better bearing border growth after just one application, as wear was completely prevented, and contributes sustainably to the health of the white line, especially on the front hooves. Holds great, doesn't get stepped off, no more stumbling - advantages over a temporarily different glued synthetic shoe and steel shoes. Working with Goodsmith is definitely worth a try. Anyone who is skilled with their hands and is allowed to apply Goodsmith themselves, or who has a great Hufbearbeiter , must give it a try. Thanks to the tab arrangement, the Goodsmith can be used for the most challenging hoof situations (temporarily or permanently) and brings comfort for both horse and rider.
