Foot Balance with Alexander Werner Part 1
<p>Mark Trussler and co-host Jay Tovey introduce The Farrier Project and interview Bavarian farrier Alex Werner DipWCF in Germany. Alex describes growing up near Munich, starting with horses as a child, and learning farriery by holding up feet for an elderly local farrier before trimming his own horses as a teenager. Encouraged by a vet, he pursued training in England, securing an apprenticeship with Simon Curtis in Newmarket in 1999 and qualifying in 2004, describing the tough pay and living conditions but strong camaraderie and learning. He returned to Germany, started his business, then in 2006 moved to the US to work at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital doing largely remedial and clinic-based work, including laminitis cases and tenotomies, and completed his Certified Journeyman Farrier (CJF) exam before returning home in 2008. He later co-founded the Podiatry Jam Session with Aaron Gygax to connect farriers and vets, growing to 180 attendees, and previews a part-two discussion on foot balance.</p>

Shoeing for Dressage - Haydn Price
<p>Hosts Jay Tovey and Mark Trussler welcome farrier Haydn Price to discuss dressage shoeing and his career. Haydn explains starting farriery at 14, restarting his apprenticeship with Tim Rooney, and how conversations with farrier Alan Bailey led him to question traditional UK “follow the foot” concave hunter-style shoeing. Influenced by Continental shoeing seen with David Broome’s horses, he adopted longer, wider, more symmetrical shoes and focused on function over aesthetics, gaining performance-horse clients through results and rider feedback. He describes dressage as an ideal discipline for analysis because it’s controlled and movement-focused, and notes hind feet can change shape through training, requiring proactive management such as impression material and thermoplastic pads to reduce heel compression. The group discusses angular limb deformities, emphasising forces and hoof capsule evidence over appearance, and proximal suspensory desmitis, linking it to training, surfaces, and load behind; Haydn favours appropriate support, packing, and clear exit strategies rather than “one condition, one shoe.” He supports barefoot where conditions allow and advises young farriers to talk, collaborate, and seek help.</p>

Unpacking Equine Diagnostics: Alison Talbot BVM&S, CertEP, CertES(Orth), DIp ACVSMR, Dip ECVDI, FHEA, MRCVS
<p>Mark Trussler and co-host Jay Tovey introduce The Farrier Project and interview Alison Talbot, a veterinary surgeon and equine orthopedics clinician at the University of Liverpool with a background in diagnostic imaging, FEI showjumping and dressage work, and farriery examinations. Alison discusses the benefits and drawbacks of moving between practices, and how referral work affects client relationships, noting remedial farriery cases often require repeat visits before returning to the horse’s own farrier. The conversation focuses on links between farriery, shoeing intervals, foot balance and lameness, and how radiographs should be taken and assessed, including limb positioning, blocks, markers, and image quality. Alison compares radiography with MRI, CT, scintigraphy, venograms, thermography, and ultrasound, outlining when each is useful and how newer imaging has changed understanding and management of conditions like navicular disease.</p>
