Hoof-Care Highlights is brought to you by Kawell USA.
Kawell USA originally began as a project to develop a copper alloy horseshoe that could help in the treatment of hoof diseases in horses, by using copper's natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. After years of development and research, we now offer horseshoes, bar stock and frog inserts that are made from our EPA approved copper alloy that is proven to combat bacteria and fungus related to thrush, seedy toe, and white line disease.
Forging Sliders
Texas farrier Lamar Weaver demonstrates how to forge sliders for a young horse before the Southern Farriers Association annual contest.
Hand Pain Solutions
Wisconsin farrier Casey Kramer provides farriers with tips on how to help with hand pain or numbness.
Lateral Extension Egg Bar
Missouri farrier Cody Gregory and fellow farrier Rayanne Slepica forge a lateral extension egg bar shoe for an injured roping horse.
3D Hoof Balance
Balance is often three-dimensional, according to a recent Hoof Architect post, meaning it’s not often that just one side is high and should be thought of diagonally instead to best address hoof balance.
Equine Dynamics Podcast
In this episode of Mike Stine Equine Dynamics podcast, Texas farrier and veterinarian Sammy Pittman explains how to create freeze-dried hooves and discusses normal hoof structure.
