ifa's Al Muzdaheer stables, and was solely responsible for the shoeing of 80 horses in training as well as his stud farm. In 2014 I travelled to the Manawatu region of New Zealand and focused on riding and working horses. Rural shoeing was a new experience, surrounded by fantastic views!

Emergency Squish pads fitted to a lami case yesterday. Hopefully give him some relief. X-rays show rotation in both front feet.
