Easy Farrier Appointment

Kola is a 15 year old paint gelding. He was diagnosed, by his vet, with degenerative joint disease in his right stifle. He also has other joint issues that make it hard for him to tolerate a hoof trim.  This week I spent a few minutes cleaning his joints using Pranic Healing across and down his right hip and leg.  Today the horse shoer started on the front, said he was super excited to see the great hoof growth and went to the right hind.  As usual, Kola positioned himself for the difficult job of holding up the right hind.  He usually lowers his head, spreads his front legs, and braces tightly just counting the seconds until he is done.  Today I did Pranic Healing while Justin trimmed the foot.  As he set the foot down I quickly did a little more Pranic Healing on that area in to ease the discomfort.  Kola did great, he was still a little uncomfortable, but didn’t have the same pained look and was quicker to put weight back on the right hind.  It was also great to hear that the right hind had almost the same hoof growth as the left. Which was not the case the last few trims.
