Pagina pentru potcovari

This section of the JNFS web site is to support the work I have been involved with over the past 5 years in the training of Romanian Farriers and Vets. It is not a "stand alone " piece of farriery information but part of an ongoing support and training system.

Aceasta sectiune a site-ului este menita sa fie o continuare a muncii in care am fost implicat in ultimii 3 ani in instruirea potcovarilor si veterinarilor romani. Alte parti vor fi adaugate ulterior, ca parte a unui sistem de instruire pe termen lung.

The photographs featured , and the text, represent shoeing at perhaps the most basic level. – The horse had good feet! Good hoof/pastern alignment that required only a small change to the normal location of the shoes in the front feet. Machine made "Kerckhaert" shoes supplied by "Stromsholm UK" were used to demonstrate how simple good farriery can be achieved by following simple basic guidelines.

Further pages, in English and Romanian, will be added to this part of the site .

Fotografiile si textul folosit reprezinta potcovitul la cel mai simplu nivel- calul respective are copite sanatoase, o buna angulatie copita/falange care au necesitat numai o mica interventie pentru a repozitiona potcoava si a indeparta excesul de copita crescuta. Potcoave prefabricate "Kerckhaert" de la "Stromsholm UK" au fost folosite pentru a demonstra cum un potcovit simplu si corect poate fi obtinut urmarind niste linii simple si de baza. In viitor vor mai fi adaugate pagini in engleza si romana cu alte cazuri si demonstratii.

We have not yet included any preliminary assessment of the limb/hoof - this will be part of a subsequent section.

Nu am inclus inca examinarea si evaluarea initiala a membrului/copitei- aceasta va face subiectul unei sectiuni viitoare.

This horse was chosen specifically for us to focus on the shoeing procedures , in essence:

Acest cal a fost ales in mod deosebit pentru a ne concentra asupra modului de potcovire, in special:

How to trim a normal foot and how to preserve those structures that are vital to the well being of the horse in particular how little to remove of the sole and frog in a healthy foot.

talpa si furcuta

How to select a shoe that is both suitable for the horse and for its work and of sufficient size that when fitted is of sufficient length to allow for normal growth over a shoeing period and fitted in a way that still supports the hoof wall during maximum expansion and as far as possible allows the hoof and normal locomotion to take place in as near natural state as possible.

-Cum se alege o potcoava care este potrivita pentru cal si munca pe care o face, dimensiunea avand o lungime suficient pentru a asigura cresterea normala a copitei in intervalul dintre potcoviri si potrivita de asa maniera pentru a sustine peretele copitei in timpul maximei expansiuni. De asemenea permite miscarii sa fie cit mai naturala posibil

How to locate the shoe on the foot, how to nail the shoe in place,

-Unde se aseaza potcoava pe copita, cum se bat caielele,

How to "finish" the shoeing off with as little damage as possible to the hoof wall.

-Cum se finiseaza potcovitul cu cat mai putina interventie asupra peretelui copitei.
