Hello Folks
The Nokesville Horse Society quest speaker this month is "Barefoot Farrier" and "Happy Horse Hoof Specialist". Natalie Cruz. She will be addressing horse hoof health issues on subjects like the cause of navicular and thrush, what an abscess really is (if not an infection) and signs of lameness and it's cause and what to do about it.
Many farriers today are changing their opinion about the need of shoeing horses in many instances. While we all know some horses absolutely need shoes for different reasons, the vast majority do very well barefoot and seem to be healthier and happier. I personally removed all my horses shoes several years ago.
I'm certain we all can benefit from information about going "Barefoot". Afterward we can all use our own judgment and possibly make our horses happier as well as save a lot of money.
As usual, the meeting is at the Nokesville Fire Hall, 12826 Marsteller Drive, Nokesville Va. Social time starts at 7:00 pm. The speaker starts at approximately 8:00 pm after a brief NHS meeting.
See you there
Larry
