Sheilajeanne Report post Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I know there are a lot of horse people on this forum, and I found this very interesting! This horse was so very lame the owners were considering euthanasia. Then the blacksmith found a huge hole in the sole of the horse's foot. (I think they need to find a new vet! The vet should have been the first to find the problem!) He actually forged a special bar shoe to help protect the foot while it healed. If you're a horse person you will know how rare it is these days to forge a shoe from scratch, instead of using a ready-made shoe! This video show the whole process, including the farrier finding the abscess: https://www.facebook.com/100922664744563/videos/934916520667857 Edited July 28, 2021 by Sheilajeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

windbagprideful Report post Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) The owners would be crazy if they thought about euthanizing! Animals are our friends… I have picked a vet for my dogs for a long time because it's about their health. I'm working at the HSUS, and it's my mission to help all animals in the whole world. I remember my first education work https://studyhippo.com/essay-examples/animal-testing/ at the university. I was crying for hours. No one didn't understand why I cried over an essay. But I can't realize how people can test their creams and cosmetics in such a cruel way. I adore that blacksmith! Many thanks to him.
