  • Jim Apple episode

    Wow! So good! I am looking forward to more episodes with Jim Apple. I’m 63 and horses came back into my life when I was 46. I went from 0 horses to 6 horses in less than 18 months. I quickly learned that I was going to have to learn how to trim my horses’ feet. I’ve lived in 3 different states since then. If you’re very lucky, you might find a very skilled trimmer, one who has valid (data driven) reasons for why they trim the way they do. But IF you are fortunate to find one, they are often very... more

  • Very Informative

    I’ve been binge- listening to this podcast since I found it a week ago. I was a professional barefoot trimmer for 10 years before having kids and have been out of the scene for the past decade. This has been a great refresher for me and giving me the itch to get back into trimming! Thanks for the hard work of putting this together- so great to have this info easily accessible and presented in a non-preachy way. Hopefully it’s helping to make the changes a little more palatable for folks that hav... more

  • Everything for the hoof obsessed!!

    My mare was diagnosed with navicular syndrome about 4 years ago, I immediately started researching on keeping her comfortable, barefoot and yes rideable! This podcast was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! I’ve listened to almost every episode!! Thanks to the advice here Lady , now 23, is walking tall, hitting the trails , and wearing her boots with pride! Major diet and supplement changes that I learned here made it all possible!

    THANK YOU!!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Throwback Episode: Not All Laminitis Is Created Equal
Q: What are the three main types of laminitis discussed in this episode?
Endocrinopathic/metabolic laminitis, SIRS-related laminitis, and support limb laminitis, each with distinct triggers and treatment considerations.
Life After Laminitis
Q: Could you give a little information about your journey in hoof care and the area you service?
I'm Maggie Lambert, based in Southern Colorado, running Diamondback Farrier Services with my husband. I've been a farrier for about four years, passionate about working with horses in remote and backcountry settings, and I service local clients in the area and beyond.
Rehabbing Laminitis
Q: What role did diet and managing grazing play in the rehabilitation plan?
Grazing was controlled by building a dedicated track and reducing grass intake; nutritional adjustments included specific supplements (L-carnitine, L-glycine) and a carefully selected feed regimen to stabilize metabolic markers while monitoring liver enzymes and triglycerides.
Rehabbing Laminitis
Q: How did you adjust hoof care and trimming during the recovery process?
The trim strategy focused on realigning heels while keeping toes limited, minimizing trauma as the hoof grew, and using cloud boots for support; it required slow, incremental work and patience as the horse could only tolerate short foot holds during the painful phases.
Rehabbing Laminitis
Q: What were the key turning points in recognizing and addressing the laminitis in this pony?
Early subtle signs like toe flicks, stripe growth, and repeated stress rings flagged laminitis; collaboration with vets led to stepwise interventions including adjusted turnout, trimming, cloud boots, and eventual SGLT2 inhibitor therapy, which together shifted the trajectory from deterioration to recovery.
