Hot Works Fire Safety Summer 2026 🔥

This is the ideal set up for keeping everyone safe.

I know that not every client has this so what can you do?

🔥 Spray out and clear dead plant material in a 6m x 4m box this will contain the entire vehicle.

🔥 Lay down conveyer rubber! You’d be surprised how flame retardant that stuff actually is even though it smells a bit when a shoe goes down on it.

🔥 Cold Reset sometimes if it’s not safe enough to hot shoe like there is a total fire ban in place I will cold reset your horse, yeah it not quite as stunning to look out but it is sufficient beleive it or not I actually forward plan for summer and try to get each horse into new steel before Christmas to mitigate the risk.

🔥 Pull the shoes. Every horse needs down time from steel and the Australian summer is a great time for it. No competitions are on, the hoof is nice and dry and hard giving even the thinnest soled TB the best chance at being sound bare! His soft tissue will thank you 💗

If you have concerns about your property for this summer please feel free to reach out to me for advice. Some of you may not know that in a previous life I was a fire and rescue volly and also spent quite a bit of time helping with EASE 💗

Thanks to the Patten family 🤩 for the use of their property for this safety video. Seriously superstar clients 💗

Welcome back 💗

Who’s ready for the year of the horse 💗

Looking forward to seeing all the horses it’s time to be oiling hooves a few times a week pretty please 🙏

For those horses that don’t take the grinder please make sure you give their hooves a good soak a few days prior to your appointment not the day of.

The hoof needs time to take the water up and do its thing to release its sole.

Shade is such a thing right now please try and have a shady area ready for work.

Start times are currently earlier due to the heat.

Roll on the new year 💗

For those of you who may feel your horse is a little add on farrier day 🤣

My Memphis truly takes the frustrating young horse award to an entire new level 🤣

I hope you get a giggle out of this video and realise no young horse is perfect it takes years of training to get them to be a saint like my Whirly 🤣

One of the most important learnings in horsemanship is when to back off and let the professionals do their job.

Firefly took a rather nasty injury 7 weeks ago and she’s become incredibly defensive with her leg.

It didn’t matter what I tried she wasn’t going to let me near it and I myself was too worried about my own leg to push her too much further.

So we did the twice a week vet visits for bandaging so that under sedation Firefly could be mentally safe from trauma and our treating vets safe from her kicking.

Now it’s time for the bandage to come off but guess what she still won’t let me near it!

Enter Mick from MC Equine - Farrier and training service

Whirly, Firefly and I took a jaunt down to Vasse to see if Mick could take the kick out of Firefly for me and wow he sure did that.

Within no time Firefly was standing calmly unsedated while we cut off the bandage and treated her leg. I got her home tied her up and touched up the spray before putting her back in her paddock.

What did he do that I couldn’t? He did his job as a trainer. Someone who is not emotionally attached to the horse or the issues. He was confident, calm and fair with her the entire way through and she learnt that she didn’t have to be defensive and we weren’t going to hurt her.

Sometimes the hardest thing in the journey is to let go. I was frustrated I couldn’t get this sorted out myself. Hell I stitched Whirly up as a youngster in his paddock with no sedation there where no treating vets in the area.

Learn to recognise when your horse needs professional help. Be it Farriery, Veterinarian Care or Training and step back and let those people do their jobs. Don’t belt yourself up over it just be releived that your horse got what they needed 💗

Incase ya havnt walked outside today!

It is officially summer 🥵 fire safety when working and shade to prevent heat stroke is now number 1 on the hit list.

Hopefully this heat wave will burn off the bush budgies and the horses should all be settling down now the feed is drying off.

This is how easy it is to create a safe level working environment. Super important in our mm precision job!

The perfect little summer hoof 💗

7 weeks post trim so overdue my fault not his 🤣

Little Minion Henry has all the things going in his favour to create and maintain this hoof.

He’s not too upright and not to low slung.

His environment is a mixture of small stone areas and smooth sand areas.

His nutrition is managed carefully by his owner to not be too rich nor too poor.

He’s normally on a 6 week rotation. Which I only offer in the Collie area due to the rock in this region.

Sometimes what we leave behind is just as important as what we take. Allowing for what the environment will naturally take care of.

Within ideal range happy pony happy farrier 💗

You know that issue I’ve been telling you is an issue 🤣

Well now it’s really an issue your horse is lame but how do we treat it?

Hoof Wall Separation yup now the hoof has dried up it’s a serious issue.

Lucky for us The Hoof Co has some amazing products to help you get this sorted out.

Next winter let’s try fix it before it’s an issue.

How?

🤩Try to minimise your horses access to abrasive surfaces when the hoof is saturated.

🤩 If you can yarding or stabling either overnight or for the day time alternating can give your horse’s hooves some decent dry time.

🤩 Applying topical solutions to dry the hoof and cleanse it like The Hoof Co Hoof spray 3 x a week can really help.

🤩 Hot tip - make sure when your hoof picking you get as much dirt and tiny rocks out as possible then fill the area with pink balls 💗
