Simon curtis FWCF HonAssocRCVS remedial farriery .....

[ColleenIsh]

Well we took Missy to sweetwall stud where simon curtis was doing a workshop and talk .

Was very interesting indeed , he did some superb work on an 8 day foal who had very bad case of wind swept and also did work on a 3 month old foal who had flexor deformities in which he used a plantar extension .

He then had a look at missy and he said she was very straight behind but with correct trimming and trimming every 4 weeks at the front it would correct itself ( shes just a tad out of line in front )
He did extensions which I found really interesting using aluminum and different types of glue .

All in all it was very interesting and missy behaved brilliantly

Is he the chap who works with Rossdales? Or perhaps I'm getting him confused with someone else?

OH went to one of his seminars and was very impressed!

 

[PapaFrita]

Thanks TGM. Yep, that's the chap

He works with Rossdales on, well... foot stuff, obviously! When PF had her foot infection that went into the pedal bone and had to be scraped out (niiiiice!) he made her a special shoe with a removeable plate. He said she was a lovely well-behaved girl *proud mummy*
