That's my Horse #1

The DVD series Under the Horse should be made prerequisite to That’s My Horse in all training programs. The purpose of the future TMH series is to help practitioners apply the basic protocols described in UTH on specific and complex cases.

OTT Thoroughbred with distal descent of P3, chronic subsolar abscessing, exposed solar corium, severe wall flares, thin soles, lamellar wedge around the entire periphery of all 4 hooves and weak lateral cartilages. Watch us grow a better foot and give the horse a second chance.

“We chose this case to be #1 in the series because it was so difficult to get her comfortable. Everything we tried seemed to help for a week, and then she would crash again. Often when people see “before and after” radiographs or pictures they fail to realize how much work and dedication happened in between- triumph, heartbreak, triumph, more heartbreak... I wanted to get this across, and showing a case that almost beat me seemed like the best way to do this.” Pete

In this 3 Disc DVD Set, watch each step in the process as Pete tries to help  this horse grow functional feet. Watch as the trimming changes over time and  also see:

• Application of Equicasts with Comfort Pads
• Application of Equicasts with Equethane CS
• Cast removal
• Fitting Easyboot Epics with Comfort Pads
• Fitting Easyboot Gloves
• Lecture sessions on reversing distal descent of P3, dealing with extreme quarter flares, spotting and dealing with lamellar wedge using radiographs and external landmarks

Teaching people to rehabilitate hoof problems is very  difficult because every case is different. While the generalized instruction we  provided in the lecture series Under the Horse was  as detailed and complete as we could make it, we still find ourselves "stepping  outside that box" on a routine basis. Disc 10 of the UTH series got rave reviews  and was described as one of the most helpful hoof videos ever filmed. In Disc 10  we showed every trim of a distal descent and rotation reversal. A lot of real  world information came out as we worked thru the nuances of that individual  case. The appreciation folks had for Disc 10's format gave us the  idea for the That's my Horse series.

We plan to film as many completely different 'types' of hoof  problems as we can over time. We will show each trim, how the horse moves, the  changes to the feet, and how we deal with the everyday problems that pop up.  Currently we have completed footage on a navicular horse, a "high/low" horse, a  club foot, several chronically foundered horses and a "splat-footed" draft  horse. We'll keep filming other 'types' as they come along. As we get time,  we'll put each case together in a DVD set (That's My Horse #1, #2, #3......). A  serious student will then be able to collect each video set, and concerned horse  owners will be able to just buy the one that most matches their personal horse's  situation.

We are very excited about this format. Aside from showing more  of the 'out in the dirt' nuances of rehabilitative hoof work, it will provide  Pete an opportunity to present new findings and methodology discovered over  time. Keep checking back here for new videos- we hope to put a new one out every  6 months or so.  Ivy and Pete
