Tuffy is getting his custom made heart bars this morning. My husband set up his welder for the shoer yesterday.

We got Tuffy's x-rays on Friday, he has some rotation on his left front. You know, George has foundered numerous times but never had rotation, he's been x-rayed several times. It's very troubling.

How bad is the rotation? I'm sending lots of good vibes your way!

Sorry to hear about Tuffy. Poor horse. So, painful for them. Hopefully, the shoes will help. The navicular QH we had, was shod with aluminum oval shoes and pads. A good farrier can make them, at least comfortable.

So sorry. Is the acute phase over now so he's no longer in pain? I'd sure like to see pics of the custom shoes.

Time will tell, I sure hope he can get sound again. He'll be in my prayers, I'm sure you're worried sick. I wonder if the difference between Tuffy and the pony is just weight. A pony moving around maybe doesn't have the sheer force a horse does to move those bones out of alignment. It's just a theory.

I'm so sorry about tuffy. What would be the reason that George doesn't have rotation and tuffy does?

Good one, about the trash man. So sorry to hear about Tuffy's feet.
