Clare and ‘Havana’ (West Yorkshire)
Beccy Smith has been trimming my horse’s feet for several months now. My horse is a very difficult case who has suffered intermittent lameness since the age of 3. At the first consultation Beccy realised my horse was suffering with considerable discomfort in her stomach, and was walking in a manner which caused her to wear her feet unevenly.
I immediately changed her diet to organic hay and Thunderbrook Feed. The resulting effect was immediate. She no longer had sloppy poos and her stomach began to change shape! She allowed me to groom her in areas near her hind gut, which had been ‘off limits’ for many years. Prior to meeting Beccy I had spent many hundreds of pounds on trying to resolve Havana’s lameness with only limited success. It never occurred to me that haylage might be too rich for her. I also know now that she reacts whenever the farmer sprays pesticides in the adjacent fields. Her feet suddenly develop flare which quickly disappears after a number of weeks.
I have learnt so much from Beccy which has helped me as I work with lame horses too. We have worked on a number of horses together and had amazing results, which would not have been possible without her input and knowledge.
Thank you Beccy for changing mine and Havana’s lives for the better!!
