Specialist & Remedial shoeing

Specialist staff

Our uniquely trained staff travel widely to provide the best quality service for those clients with severe equine podiatry problems. Chapel Forge has worked hard with its suppliers to design a fleet of specialist vehicles for our staff in order to offer clients the latest technology and professional service. The ‘state of the art’ truck pictured here is Gary's own US American import Dodge Ram truck, a ‘one-off’ specifically made for him to travel primarily around the UK and Europe to provide his unique specialist equine consultancy and remedial services.

Specialist service

This service includes a full analysis of the horse, via checking its conformation and movement, examining any angular limb deformities and hoof irregularities, slow motion gait analysis, barefoot trimming, innovative copper shoes, static and dynamic evaluations.

This analysis is backed up with both verbal and written reports. Recommendations are then made concerning:-

• shoeing of the horse
• nutrition, where we work alongside Polly Bonner, equine nutritionist from Saracen Feeds
• veterinary care, in conjunction with the Valley Equine Practice, Lambourn, for Veterinary Surgery and rehabilitation.

No foot, no horse

It's an old adage, but true! All the cases shown here were returned to active use under Chapel Forge Farriers care.
