Today I made a pair of orthotics for a horse. In Applied Equine Podiatry one of the things we can do is rehabilitate a foot or feet that is lacking structure, or having a breakdown of some sort. We use a specialized closed cell foam pad and literally create an orthotic!

First I get an impression of the foot. Then trim the pad to fit into the boot. Next I skyve (shave) it in the areas that I want less pressure. Then onto the horse!

The feet sink into the pad and it creates a supportive environment and stimulates the growth of tissue in equilibrium with the internal foot.

well I was hoping to bottle some wine, but there was to much yeast residue yet, so I ended up racking it again

Mucked the barn out, and took care of the animals. Other than that not much.

Today I went out to trim. I'm getting over a bit of the flu, and not feeling quite as strong as normal. But it was good to work. I love my work! I'll be glad when winter is over. I don't much like the cold.

I know KVR! What we have as cold here doesn't come close!
