5 Things we LOVE about Summer

Balmy sunsets, plenty of time in the afternoon to ride, t-shirts and warm evenings.

Our horse’s environment is rarely consistant. Varying from grassy paddocks to sandy arenas and hard tarmac roads, it can be hard for our horse’s feet to keep up.

Summer weather brings its own challenges with the hot and dry days often intermingled with wet-dry-wet-dry periods, promoting brittle, dry hooves which will crack, flake and chip.

A good hoof supplement such as The Aussie Farrier Hoof Growth formula can help to keep the hoof supple and strong.

Oh those summer days....just chilling in the paddock with your mate....you can't beat it!

Barefoot horses, shod horses - it doesn't matter - time to relax after those early morning rides.

Remember, a healthy, supple hoof is your horse’s first line of defense against working on hard summer ground.

Doesn't matter where that water is...beach, dam or river....it is cool, refreshing and SO much fun.

Riding or rehabilitation, strong, flexible and healthy hooves require exercise, movement and moisture in the summer.

Wading and swimming is great conditioning for hoses and water can be absorbed by the hooves which you can seal it in after your swim with a good hoof oil.

That lovely fine, shiny coat. No rugs. Grooming is a breeze.

An extra beautiful coat with great hooves starts with a healthy diet.

Key nutrients for strength in healthy hooves include zinc, copper, biotin, and a good supply of essential amino acids such Methionine.

Providing a targeted hoof supplement, such as The Aussie Farrier Hoof Growth formula will help maintain soundness and hoof strength throughout the summer.

Getting that elusive, amazing, must-have Christmas shot of the ponies to load up on socials can take hours...days....even weeks!

Even harder with group photos. But it is worth it in the end to have the best-ever photo of your best friend/s for maximum comments and likes!

Christmas Day with the quick rush to see the horses and offer carrots, apples, treats before racing of for a fun filled day of family celebrations! Doesn't get much better!
