Lameness is one of the most common and painful issues that working animals face, but with professional hoof care, it can often be prevented. We host training workshops for local farriers in the countries where we work, to further develop their skills and ensure they have the tools needed to keep hooves healthy and animals moving comfortably. At our Bogh\u00e9 animal health & welfare centre in Mauritania, Nechwan the horse arrived with misshapen, overgrown hooves. The professionally trained farrier trimmed Nechwan\u2019s hooves so they were balanced and even, allowing the horse to walk normally and preventing long term lameness. Nechwan\u2019s owner was invited to return for routine hoof checks and trimming, ensuring ongoing care. Training one farrier today could improve the welfare of thousands of working animals for years to come. Your gift will be used where it is needed most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
