Bless you you are a good owner you went through everything to find out what was wrong and you listened to your professional people that you use and you found out what was wrong and your making Seren feel better so no you don’t have to explain yourself or feel bad because you did your best for her
I also have a very flat footed mare! She wears pads on her front feet was well. I feel your pain and struggles! I’m glad you’re on the right track now! Best of luck with your rehab program and *hopefully* you’ll be back at it soon!
It’s more common than people think! It’s so odd I was actually thinking of getting foot balance X-rays ! Didn’t need to vet spotted it pretty much straight away. Thank god for farriers & there modern ways xx
You can round and round in circles blaming yourself and going through the what ifs but the thing to focus on is that you've done the right thing for her and are getting her mended and you clearly love the bones off her! Sometimes its so hard knowing what to do when theres so many different opinions, one person is telling you to ride them through it and the next person is diagnosing them with everything under the sun but ultimately you knee your pony well enough to get to the bottom of things. Hope she keeps improving for you, she'll be absolutely cracking now shes not hurting because just think how well she was doing considering! Keep your chin up, the hard graft of rehab will be worth it, you're a fab little team. Xx
Wow Beth thank you so much, I think that really puts it in to perspective. You can easily spiral in to a bit of overthinking and worrying about things or the ‘what if’s. But that last ride she just felt bloody awful & the final thing was the stop. Originally I thought these kind of stops were her saddle pinching or serious lack of confidence. But now I know it’s because it was always on a long one and it was hurting her 😰. Which made me feel awful. But the main thing is , we know now before anything really yikesyyy. We are treating her & she’s under the best vet care 🤞🏻☺️. I think you’re right she’s gonna come back so good! Xx
It’s so good you’ve got a plan. It’s awful when you know In your heart something is wrong but you don’t know what. Good luck on the recovery hopefully you’ll be back ready for 2024 hunting season 😅❤️
Exactly the same as my welsh, negative angle on his pedal bones which is why he was intermittently short especially during summer months when the ground was hard, but pads have been a revelation. Fingers crossed Seren will be fine.
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing he's fab in the pads and impression material, not had a short step in 18 months since they were first put on, keep the faith, im sure she'll get there. Who knew welshies were so precious! xx
Our horses always send our minds spiralling out of control when they get something wrong don't they. I know how you feel currently going through hoof problems with my welshy but thats been caused by farriers trimming incorrectly causing her pedal bone to rotate far too much, Ive lost alot of hope with professionals as they havent helped me just made my horse worse ive gone down the path of hoofing marvellous and the Phoenix way think someone has already commented about this but theres alot of information on there if you ever want some extra help. I really hope your farrier/vet work better for you and can sort seren ❤ 😊
Don’t they! They are just so precious to us. It must be quite common among Welshies then! Probably because of their high knee action. Aww bless I really hope someone can help your welshy! I deffo recommend the remedial shoes. So far so good 🤞🏻xx
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing definitely we wouldnt be without them. I think I'm on the right track with mine found an equine podiatrist that's made an improvement just going to take time. I'm glad the remedial shoes are working for Seren, good luck and look forward to watching further updates 🐴😊
Not long had similar news withe negative angle of the pedal bone on our second set of remedial shoes . Nearly sound now . He presented just like your mare did x Do not blame yourself x it’s quite rare x
You can't blame yourself, you dont have x-ray vision (inless you do, which would be uber cool!) and Sezzie wasn't obviously lame. Good on you for pursuing an answer rather than letting things drag on. So she's got to wear stilettos for a while, does she also have to dance round her handbag in the field? (showing my age there!!! 😂😂) xx
Mate I wish I did!! It would solve so many problems haha. It was almost impossible to see just the odd thing she did now looking back at videos- compared to now. Haha yes she goes strutting round her field 🤣. I’m scared of how strong she is going to be on a gallop now 🤣 xx
She’s okay, she’s under veterinary advice. The pads ensure her frog is touching the floor for circulation. They are working so far so I’m happy with what my farrier and vet have done. X
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing OK. I understand. But it's really worth looking into the info so that you are fully informed and you can still stick with the decision you have made. At the end of the day in all the years training a vet has, they only have 1/2 a day dedicated to hoof health. That's not that much to be making big decisions on. Raising heels will cause the pedal bone to start to rotate. It's the hoof capsule that rotates the bone. Like you said, it's your horse, your choice and I do respect that. But I just didn't feel I'd done my due diligence if I didn't inform you there was good valid info available. I wish you all the very best for her recovery truely.
@@theimperfectequestrian No thank you, I do really appreciate your speaking up if you know a lot about this subject. I have researched to high hell trust me haha. Every night without fail since finding out I’ve been watching RUclips videos. We are hoping this isn’t a long term thing with the remedial shoeing and it may right its self after a few cycles. She used to be barefoot before I had her, but the amount of work I was doing with her. Put strain on her backend & the physio said she had worn them down. That was sorted with shoeing. I will deffo be keeping my options open, but for now it’s working 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xxx
Bless Both of your hearts~ and I love how much you and Seren LOVE each other!❤❤
🥹🥹 I do love my little Sezzy she is a sweetie but also a psycho 😂
@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing

Bless you you are a good owner you went through everything to find out what was wrong and you listened to your professional people that you use and you found out what was wrong and your making Seren feel better so no you don’t have to explain yourself or feel bad because you did your best for her
Awww thank you so much ☺️. I am really glad I did it, I never expected it, but I am so glad it’s fixable and the vet is happy with her xx
The vet is right. You did something about it. Sending jingles from Australia 🌏🦘🪃🐨.
Thank you so much lovely xx

Thanks so much Chloe- hahahaha oh helll no- our hunting days are done 🫣🤣! She runs through what ever is in her mouth xxx

Oh wow! It’s good to hear I’m not alone in this. Hope your welshy is okay now?
I agree the difference I felt in one ride with the pads! Xx

@@Whizzywelsh_Eventing oh that's going to be an exciting vlog!!!
Please please go look at hoofing marvellous and the phoenix way about hoof care. Do not make the mistake of raising those heels. Please.
