Chris Gregory Clinic day one is underway at our place with Chris discussing some important but often overlooked aspects of anatomy. A great turn out from lots of New Zealand farriers, vets, horse owners and trimmers. Thanks to GE Forge and Tool for their generous support.
Very frosty start here in Christchurch today. Local farriers, if you're passing, come and grab a beanie to keep your head warm. The jug is also on for tea and coffee to warm you from the inside ☕️
Sole Pack Hoof Packing relieves dry, hard, sore hooves, while combating bacterial and fungal infections. It is extremely effective in encouraging the natural pliability of the hoof, whether you're faced with a hoof that it too soft or a hoof that is too hard. Packing your horse's hoof with Sole Pack Hoof Packing a few days prior to trimming will bring the hoof to a pliable state that will ease the trimming process. #farriershop #hooftreatment #hoof #hoofcare #solepack #hawthorne #farrier #horse #healthyhooves #hoofpacking #trimming #hooftrimming
