Sorry I promised you a post on Tuesday - its taking longer than I expected and WILL be up soon but I'd better get it done properly as its all about exercise, biomechanics and foot balance so its not a 5 minute job!

Can't wait to read it! In the meantime, I have a question - I have a new mare who is recently (3 weeks or so) barefoot. She has horrible contracted heels and weak undeveloped frogs in front - where she was shod. Decent foot quality and straight hairlines. She has very narrow deep lateral sulci and also deep center sulk and cracks extending back to heel. She appears to have thrush in one foot - not terrible but there. Recommendations for effective thrush treatment? She's sound on pavement and hard ground, struggles on arena sand - probably due to pressure on heels and spreading of sulci and heel cracks.
How do you find a legitimate source for Manuka honey? Apparently the bulk of the product available on the market is fake as the production is very small.
A diary of whats happening at Rockley, whether its news on rehab horses who are here now, our own horses hunting or former rehabs out competing. All the horses are barefoot, and the blog includes updates on hoof rehabilitation and information about barefoot performance.
You can find out more about research, rehabilitation and our horses on the pages above or at our website: www.rockleyfarm.co.uk.

Sulcus, not sulk - darn autocorrect!

Yep, thats my favourite at the moment :-)
