After years of dealing with horses suffering from hoof problems, I decided to take over the care of the horses who reside at Pure Joy Horse Haven, our non-profit sanctuary for traumatized and abused horses. Our mission is to provide a life long Haven with the best care possible, and also to educate horse owners about equine welfare and wellness. It's not the best video in terms of production value, ha, but I hope it will be informative. I look forward to your questions and feedback. Please learn more about us and how to support what we do.

Salt is the most abundant electrolyte and responsible for maintaining a multitude of healthy metabolic and cellular functions. Salt deprivation is very very common in horses. It can lead to dehydration, colic, muscle dysfunction, weight issues, inflammation in the body, depression, and more.

Your horse's digestive and immune systems are susceptible to external stressors like extreme temperature. This summer has certainly been rough. A great way to help your horse feel better and be more able to handle the rigors of heat is to make sure the symbiotic microbial population in the gut are well supported. Kombat Boots is my #1 choice for natural gut support. It is a PRE-biotic, not a PRO-biotic. That means it provides food for the microbes without introducing anything that disrupt them in any way. I have successfully used Kombat Boots to improve wellness at my equine sanctuary, Pure Joy Horse Haven, and Kombat Boots has been an integral part of the dietary recommendations I make for my nutrition clients. Ask me about Kombat Boots and your horse's diet, or reach out to schedule a nutrition consultation.

Cracked and splitting hooves are pretty common and can be worrisome for horse owners. Are cracking hooves always a sign of a problem? There's actually a difference between healthy cracks that are part of a natural healing process and unhealthy cracks that are signs of dysfunction in the hoof. Horses also naturally break off unneeded hoof wall as it grows out. This is called "self-trimming" and can be a sign the horse is keeping his own feet in good shape. When this happens, the hoof wall breaks off to a point where it is strongly connected to the laminae, the structural "glue" that holds the hoof wall tight against the internal structures of the hoof. When the hoof is unhealthy, the wall will break farther up the hoof, which is a sign the laminae are or were weak, stretched, or damaged. If you're looking for more information about hoof health and function, or are interested in learning if your horse's hooves are okay or in need of rehab, drop me a line. I also offer hoof care and trimming consultations. You can reach me through my website, PureJoyHorsemanship.com. Thanks and all the best to you and your equine friends. - Dale Rudin #horsehelp #horse #holistichorse #barefoothoofcare #welfarecenteredhorsemanship #evidencebasedhorsmanship #horsecare #hoofcare #hoofrehab #hoofcarematters #horsehoof #horsehoof #horsehealth

What is thrush? It's a bacterial and/or fungal infection of the hoof. Bacteria is able to infiltrate when hoof tissue is weak and porous. A healthy hoof has dense tight tissues that don't allow those nasties in. Thrush eats away at your horse's hoof. The frog is the most susceptible because the collateral grooves, the crevices that run alongside the frog, provide the dark, damp, oxygen-free environment bacteria thrive in. The buggers get into the collateral groove, then do their worst to the frog tissue. Thrush can also get into the frog through the central sulcus. In a healthy hoof, the central sulcus is shallow, like a thumb print. When the back of the hoof isn't being properly trimmed, the heels collapse and contract. This causes the central sulcus to be tightly pinched together. This creates a fissure in which the bacteria find a happy home then go to work doing what flesh-eating bacteria do. This can do serious damage deep into the hoof capsule and cause pain for the horse. This hoof in the video has bacterial damage in the frog. The bacteria are opportunistic and saw another food source in the narrow space between the heel bulbs. That narrow space was caused by incorrect trimming that allowed the space to compress. From there the bacteria has migrated into the soft tissue, digital cushion, above the hairline. This horse is undergoing treatment with Magic Hoof Mudd to gently and safely kill the bacteria (available at PureJoyHorsemanship.com) and a new trimming regimen to restore function to the back of the hoof.
