How to TRIM an overgrown LAMINITIC hoof? (with a stretched white line)

How to trim an overgrown laminitic hoof with a stretched white line.
This pony was sound before and after the trim, there is no tearing of the laminae by non existent extraordinary lever forces, and the toe is not in danger of snapping off.
The inner hoof wall remains on the ground, therefore P3 is protected and in the correct position after the trim.
There are no ‘in-between’ trims when helping laminitic ponies. The toe wall must stay on the ground at all times for a safe and sound transition.
This way P3 is never compromised or in danger of osteonecrosis.
The distorted hoof then simply grows out.

🎥 STEP 2. Register and watch our FREE LAMINITIS WEBINAR: www.hmischool....
👩‍🎓 STEP 2. Join our 15-day online Transformation Challenge 🏆 to learn fast about what causes laminitis and how to stop it: bit.ly/15-Day-...
(all pre-recorded lessons roughly 1 hr per day - take 15 days or longer - go at your own pace)
THEN…
💪 STEP 3. Join our 10-day Hoof Hero Challenge 🏆 and learn the CORRECT TRIM - whether you want to trim yourself or not - you need to KNOW (follows on from the 15-day challenge).
(Both challenges will cost you around 500 $ or £ total - pay for one at a time or both together - THEY WILL change you and your equine’s life forever… not 1000s on vets bills with unmentionable financial and emotional stress!!!)

This answered many questions I still had after watching a bunch of your other videos. Those had the theory and reasons, this has the practical application.

[@lindsaysetchell]

Great :)

[@thoraxgargoyle]

Thank you so much for your expertise ❤

[@lindsaysetchell]

Thank you 🙏

[@PattyBehrens-cd5gs]

thank you very much i think i am confussed , i thought we should no trim the toes at all!! or was it because my Sweety s toes did ot touch the ground?

[@marcoquevedo9835]

La pared del dedo se yeva al plano no es que se deja crecer sola eso hace que no tenga los cracks de frente?

[@lindsaysetchell]

The stretched white line is no problem to the horse when they are rehabbing, it is the lack of hoof wall that becomes the major issue and the lack of correct natural balance.

[@Lexivdb]

Personally I am not of the opinion that we should not cross the white line. According to me, it is necessary to ensure that the P3 is parallel to the hoof wall. And for this you have to follow the angle of the regrowth. And that means in some cases going beyond the white line unfortunately. Thank you for your videos!

[@lindsaysetchell]

If you cross the white line and remove the horse's toe pillar, you have to think of what effect that has on the overall hoof.

[@tomtaft9861]

Yes! Thank god a voice of sanity and biomechanical reason

[@tomtaft9861]

Maybe on a healthy foot. This is a grossly distorted and pathological foot.. Form follows function.. Basic principle of physiology.

[@nilimahinakash2154]

nice vedio good work
keep it up

[@lindsaysetchell]

Thanks 🙏

[@cindyjohnson5242]

Exactly whT I needed

[@Equinella2]

Do you have documented case studies with progressive photographs following a horse(s) to soundness and healed hooves?
I do barefoot rehab primarily and am always learning, been studying hoof anatomy and biomechanics, master farriers and barefoot for over 15 years.
If there is a better way i want to know it.

[@lindsaysetchell]

Absolutely! We always take copious amounts of photos, videos and histories. Please go and visit our Facebook page and group - 'Hoofing Marvellous': facebook.com/HoofingMarvellous and 'The Phoenix Way: Path 2 Hoof Health': facebook.com/groups/291820723387464

More mechanical laminitis from excess growth. Important to get breakover relieved. Can nip that back pretty snug or the dirt will jam up into that stretched laminae. Have had zero issue wuth doing so. Prevents whiteline infection. Short trim cycle of max 4 wks can prevent this
Harder cases are hyper growth from metabolic issues and

[@lindsaysetchell]

Laminitis is nothing to do with the toes.

[@heidim928]

@@lindsaysetchell mechanical laminitis has everything to do with balance and relieving stress on the laminae. The more pressure you leave from a long toe the higher the inflammation in the hoof. It's basic physics

[@tomtaft9861]

Madness!!! Don't touch the sole around the solar margin. And get rid of those distorted and sheared laminae.

Not sure you are understanding the natural foot?
