What makes some farriers successful in dealing with horses?

As I have progressed through the development of my techniques and methods I have ever asked a question, in particular, and it is "What makes you so different?" For this I tried was with many different answers over the years, always looking to get the same answer, but every time that I knew in an educated manner and knowingly what I was talking answer to project. But, just recently I'm with the true answer to this question that plagued me for so long and it's just two words: "COMFORT" and replied "compassion." 

I've realized that my techniques and methods that are centered on the overall comfort of the horse. It is with concern for the proper alignment and operation, since many of the moving parts that make up the horse and allow them the way that they do not work. 

Discomfort and respect To compare pain and comfort of the horse, it might be wise to look at the two factors as they would relate to the human beings. First, we have to be able to break the most basic of these two points to the general factors that need to be compared and bone bone, soft tissue is soft tissue, pain is pain and comfort is comfort. Both horse and man have all these factors in their daily lives. We have both bone and consists of the same elements that make bones is located. Soft tissue or soft tissue be tendons, ligaments or muscles and all soft tissue is covered by a membrane that is tight connected to the nervous system, which will relax and after the reaction of the same nervous system. The soft tissue is then up to a certain bone in the skeletal structure of the creature we are attached to the search. How all these factors interact and work in harmony is what has a large controlling interest in the creation or elimination of pain caused by internal skeletal deformity. 


It is my experience that more than eighty percent of muscle pain and or structural changes within the horse was caused by displacement of the backbone. It was also my experience that more than eighty percent of the problems that were sent to me as a blacksmith, were corrected by the proper alignment of the skeleton of the correct and balanced shoeing practices. Once that the horses were allowed to operate in their proper way, the pain of displacement was no longer present and the horse was once again the horse was known in the past. 

To this simple fact, let me explain. The shift starts at the bottom and as the foot hits the ground, then begins the alignment of the various joints of the foot to the shoulder and then toss in the neck and back. In the case of the hind feet, the joints are out of alignment off the floor to the waist, which is then misalign the basin and then for incorrect alignment of the spine in the area, where to meet the pelvis and spine. Which then throws out what I call the lower back of the horse and then show up as swelling of the back muscles. Now you know how to create the problem first and we can conclude that the wound backed horse a secondary problem, or a symptom, the initial problem of skeletal muscle displacement, we should recognize that in view of the sore back to properly treat we need to eliminate the skeletal misalignment first. We must learn to look at the first symptom in the past and realize that there is a dramatic reason that the horse has a sore back. 

How it all works only from improper trimming of horse feet happen? Simple, once that the foot of the horse is trimmed and placed stress on the wrong area of ​​the foot where it should not be, then it starts all joints misalign due to a breakpoint. The only difference is that the pain to increase as it moves from the start point to the end point. Together with the offset and the pain, a message is generated and drawn is then sent to the brain of the horse, which controls the nervous system. The signal is then attempts the problem corrected by the improper trimming and strained the membrane that various soft tissues has been created that envelops tension of the covering membrane then put pressure on the soft tissues that cover and then the soft tissue is compressed to the bone particular, it is attached to the exercise. 

This combination of measures from the nervous system of pulling the bone generated then the misalignment of the skeleton structure is integrated into the relevant bone in the entire structure of the horse. The main areas that I have found have been affected by this action, which the lower back of the horse, the hip, the neck and the survey are. Again, as in the human animal, when back pain is also neck pain. The horse is in the area of ​​the survey at the "lower" back pain is realized and there to start all the turns in the survey, which will affect the maneuverability of the horse. 

It has been many years of research, the human "biomechanics" that certain additional facts happen if certain areas of the body are aligned been discovered. Through my own fieldwork, I found that was true for people is also true for horses. The foremost point has been discovered that when the area of ​​the lower back of its correct orientation in the additional displacement of the neck. This was first realized in the person and then made the same information and on the horse and found that to be the same. 

Whenever I have the lower back of the horse found out of alignment, there was also loss of flexibility in the neck of the horse. For questions about the horse owners were asked, it was found that the horse would be easier to find a way to make more than the others. The owner of this just as the horse is not like turning in that direction. I found that when the neck into its correct position was aligned so that the horse then turned easily in both directions and just as good. The same horse then began to have changes in their skills in other areas, such as posture and confidence. 

Additionally, I have found that the use of a qualified chiropractor horses can be useful as a horse, but if you do not correct the true condition by trimming and shoeing the feet properly for the horse in question, you are only treating one of the symptoms. Once a horse properly trimmed and allowed to use their body properly for one or two cycles shoeing reduce the majority of the alignment issues and will no longer be visible. If the terms of the offset after the second cycle continued shoeing horses seem to be a chiropractor may need to be called in to do the work that must be done in order to start the horse to function correctly, it must be complete. 

Over the time that I study of biomechanics in the aspect of shoeing horses I found since the integration that horses much more happy and relieved, and a much better attitude towards all the day-to-day requirements that are to be treated , have passed them. 

I believe that this will come from the resolution of the pain that has been present for some time. In the past, a horse may have been difficult to shoe or trim due to the fact that the constant pain factor was the shift of the skeletal structure from scratch now. The horses in a balance shoeing program were asked to have very amazing rates made progress and so happy. And horses are happy horses who want to progress and are ready to the tasks required of them to do. 

If we look at ourselves and realize that the time when we are the happiest are the times where there is little distraction in our own lives. We are ready to accomplish tasks around the barn and the house without a thought. It is automatic, we feel that we are productive and enjoy life. The same goes for the horse, they want to feel needed and have a purpose in life. The feel-good factor and eliminate the pain of the daily tasks will allow them the same cases of self-satisfaction and fulfillment. Not to mention, to be needed and wanted. 

Remember, if you or a member of your family is in pain and suffering, in most cases, they will let you know. They talk to you and tell you where it hurts, then you do everything in your power to help them out of this situation. The horse does the same, the only difference is that they say. Through body language rather than by the use of verbal communication These are the same body signs that we use, if you look closely. If members of your family in pain and you look into the eyes of you may remember that the eyes of the person causes less pain than has bright eyes. Her eyes are dull and somewhat cloudy, the horse is the same. 

Her eyes are very expressive, deep in them the more pain that a horse suffers the more the eye is not clouded. The member of your family who is sore and not what to do anything, so the horse does. In the same member of the family is grumpy and short in their acceptance of situations, so do horses. Again in different ways, the member of your family screams and yells and verbally responds the horse through the use of her body by biting or challenging and / or kicks. The horse will not mean the horse is injured and wants to be left alone, just like you, to you, would feel better. 

Remember, be careful and refer to the horse in the only way that the horse can. You must learn to speak their language and help them through their situation. Remember that pain is pain and comfort is comfort. Until we meet again, "to ride for the brand."...
