Our newest member of the Equicast team, Warwick Bloomfield owner of
Berkshire Farrier Services Ltd. of Bracknell, England. Warwick will be the exclusive importer of Equicast into United Kingdom and Europe.
Last week I was shoeing on a yard in
Hampshire, England. Whilst chatting with the owner of the yard she
mentioned that there was a horse on the yard that could not be shod
because hooves were in such a bad way and that both the farrier and vet
could do nothing. I asked if I could see the horse to see if I could do
anything. As you can see from the photos below what I was presented with
was unshoeable. However, a few days earlier I had been given some
samples of the new Equicast tape. By now the owner had arrived and I
suggested we try this new product. I explained to the owner that I had
no instructions on how to use it, just the product leaflet, but as the
horse was in such pain we had nothing to lose by trying it. So I
prepared the hoof as per instructions on the leaflet and applied the
Equicast tape. I was very pleased at how easy it was to use. Once it
had harden in an incredible 2 minutes the horse walked out almost
sound. I would say it went from 9/10ths lame to 2/10th lame in about
five minutes. After that I decided to nail on the new "SSS Performance
Shoe" which is designed for Balanced shoeing on to the cast. It was
like nailing into healthy horn and the horse walked off almost sound.
The owner has text me to say everything is fine and that they are
absolutely delighted with the result. I can see that this product has a multitude
of uses for many hoof problems and with its easy application can be
used by professional and owners alike. This is going to solve so many
problems that we encounter on a daily basis. From laminitis to thin
soles to white line disease, crumbling walls, I could go on and
on! To contact me for more information on Equicast in the UK and Europe
