The hull and hardware:
Nullus pedis, nullus equus . Here is a saying that has lost its old value.
The hardware is shown, now more than ever, indispensable in the life of the horse. As the horse was losing its interest as a driver, and went on to become an athlete, their dependence Farrier is greater the higher the level at which it moves.
A good farrier is worth his weight in gold. A bad hardware can ruin a horse for life and unfortunately the wrong fittings abound, and often even fom
Glazing. The role of the farrier is essential for the management of our horses. An appropriate hardware, made in accordance with the most sound scientific principles, can make a big difference to the welfare and performance of the horse.
The vast majority of consultations in relation to the vet with our horses (it is estimated that up to 80%) relate to the care of their patas.Y not surprisingly, the horse is an animal of a large volume and heavy weight, which spread over four slender legs ending in little feet.

3 .- The Tadpole: non-slip shock absorbing mechanism that enables the hull to extend and contract with every step. It is essential to keep clean at all times to avoid problems in the hull.
Many will wonder why the horses that live in the wild do not need all this care and live many years without serious problems on their helmets. The reason is clear: the human animal asked to carry out a series of tasks that the wild horse has to carry not Tsar carrying a rider, jump, gallop on asphalt, stay long hours stabled ... All these activities are not natural and unnatural causes tension in the feet and legs animal.La Hull cornea continues to grow throughout the life of the horse (it is estimated that approximately one centimeter per month on average), but also will wearing, especially if the animal is working on a hard surface. Hence the need for hardware, which will serve to prevent excessive wear of the helmet.
It is therefore essential that the work of cleaning is done every day, choosing to do so as best time just prior to use cleaning montar.Para called LIMPIACASCOS (more adelane has a photo), as follows:
try to remove dirt working from the heel to the fire; being careful not to penetrate into the soft parts of the frog.

Keep in mind that if we make daily cleaning, we can not perceive the appearance of a problem until the moment the horse starts to limp, which sometimes may be too late.
Besides cleaning the hulls, we take special care in cleaning the barn. It is essential that a feedlot animal has a clean, dry bed, there is nothing more destructive to the hulls that ammonia equine waste and decomposing bedding.

We must ensure that these changes are kept to a minimum and use some type of topical application to seal the right amount of moisture, while allowing the necessary step of oxygen.

Something essential especially when the man used the horse for competition or for cutting trabajo.Tanto helmets as the hardware should be made by the blacksmith with a periodicity that depends directly on the level and type of work done by the animal, together with its rapid crecimiento.Debemos have that if we spend too much time without cutting, hull balance is altered in a dangerous manner, and may even cause permanent damage to the leg of originThe hoof growth, wear of the shoe and its fit the hull are the main factors in determining when a horse must be re herrado.Para know if a hardware is good, we must consider the following points:
* Nails are the right size.

* Rivets are about one third of the height.
