Barefoot farrier (fully qualified farrier who now only does barefoot horses).
£50 a trim, but not sure how much of that is travel. He only does my horse at the yard, and isnt local.
But he definitely improves my horses feet, is working with recent x-rays, and doesnt take too much off or...
Not Sbloom but I think she is only commenting on the two sets of recent pictures that show full horse.
I also think the yellow saddle is tipping back. All the weight would be in the cantle area. I'd not ride in that saddle.
This kissing spine is not diagnosed from x-rays alone. It also needs another factor such as an improvement if relevant area is nerve blocked. Some spine changes never cause pain.

I think the Equine Documentalist / Yogi Sharp in the UK will also offer similar consultation and shoeing. They seem to both follow each other's work, I think.

I have long liked these as hard to get off and hard wearing. Current horse in about 3 days managed to rub bald patches under his chin where the strap goes!
How far to get to the nearest bridleway / off road riding. I looked round one yard, asked this question and yard manager didnt know. I asked a livery on the yard, and said 40 minutes road hack to get to off road riding!!!!
Interestingly I have just calculated what the 3kg of Saracen's releve mix he also has a day provides.
So he would seem to get 24.5gms magnesium a day, and a fair bit amino acids lysine and methionine from the Releve as well as a reasonable amount of Sodium.
I give 50ml of salt, the Laminae...
