Both shod and un- shod, otherwise known as shoed or barefoot, phi- losophies offer benefi ts, but also come with limi- tations, which directly affect the health of the soles. While shoeing is necessary for many hors- es, a shod foot does not absorb shock as effi cient- ly, mostly because shoe- ing raises the sole and frog off the ground, and constrains the normal fl ex of the foot. A lack of suffi cient ground contact and stimulation limits circulation, which causes soles to shrink, which can lead to numerous problems. By contrast, an unshod foot uses the hoof wall, internal hoof cavity and sole to absorb and dissipate shock. How- ever, adding the weight of the horse and a rider can sometimes wear the hoof down faster than it grows. In these cases, shoes or boots can be a good short-term alterna- tive, as well as polyure- thane pour-in pad materi- als to help limit sole wear and provide the neces- sary support. Steps to Healthier Hooves There are a number of ways to maintain hoof health and sole thick- ness. Keeping the hoof trimmed properly and adding extra support when a horse is shod are great ways to keep hooves in optimal condi- tion. Certifi ed journey- man farrier Tab Pigg rec- ommends these tips: 1. Trim hooves and address shoe size on a regular schedule. Feet that go untrimmed lon- ger than seven or eight weeks develop thin soles. In addition, when hooves are trimmed properly, it is likely shoes will fi t better.

Jule Eller, director of trend and style at Lowe’s, says there are a few simple ways to declutter your home and make your space look tidy. Start by assessing each room. Every home and family is different but kitch- ens, garages and closets tend to get the messiest the fastest. A kitchen is a gathering place for ev- eryone in the family, so it can become cluttered with everything from back- packs and junk mail to cereal bowls and pizza boxes. Cabinets and pantries can also become cluttered with too many dishes, utensils and spices, but install- ing a Rev-A-Shelf basket from Lowe’s makes it easy to keep things neat. If you have a garage, you know it’s tempting to simply stash away bulky or rarely used items in it, rather than fi nd a space inside your home. But if you make a habit of doing this, you could eventually run out of room to park your car. To avoid that from happening, put a Kobalt cabinet or rail system in your garage to transform it into a functional storage space. While closets aren’t rooms, they can defi nitely become a cluttered nightmare. Some people think if the door can close, there’s still room for storage. Don’t let closets get to that point—you’ll be a better person for it. Here are a few additional tips for sprucing up your home while keeping it functional and orderly: 1. Rearrange furniture to maximize the space in each room. • The sofa in the living room, the bed in the bedroom and the desk in the offi ce demand the majority of space available. Arrange these pieces fi rst. • Don’t place too many pieces of fur- niture in a small space. A love seat may work better than a full-size sofa depend- ing on the size and shape of the room. • When creating areas for conversa- tion, keep furniture pieces within eight feet of each other so people can talk comfortably when seated. If possible, keep these pieces facing each other in- stead of side by side. • With seating used for reading, re- member to incorporate a light, whether it’s a fl oor lamp or an end table with a lamp on it. 2. Create the illusion of space by adding lighting and mirrors. • Lighting is a key element in open- ing up a space. If you’re lucky enough to have natural light, let it shine in. • Recessed spot lighting is visu- ally appealing and is perfect for a small space. • A torchère lamp is great for bounc- ing light off the ceiling and back down White with black accents. 34K miles. $11,500 541-999-9690 2012 FORD FUSION SEL 1993 TOYOTA Ext.

Ask a farrier to use pour-in pads that adhere to the bottom of the foot. Pour-in pads are liquid urethane ad- hesives that provide du- rable, shock-absorbent support within the hoof capsule. Vettec Equi-Pak or Sole-Guard can be applied to the bottom of the horse’s foot to keep the sole engaged when shoes are applied. Equi- Pak and Sole-Guard are fast-setting pad materials that bond directly to the sole and the internal hoof cavity, and improve the depth of the sole. These materials provide extra protection and support, and also bond to the sole to protect it from abra- sion so that soles can continue to grow. Pour-in pads also offer these advantages: • The adhesive imme- diately bonds to the sole, sealing out moisture and debris. • Pour-in pad material can be fi lled to ground level for maximum sup- port and effectively ab- sorbs concussion, instead of sending it up the leg. • A pour-in pad sup- ports the bony column of the leg by loading the entire hoof area and po- sitions the weight-bear- ing load over the entire ground surface, not just the hoof wall. Learn More Ask your farrier about whether your horse needs more support in its inter- nal hoof cavities, if the soles are thin and which pour-in pad materials are best for your horse.

STEAM OR DRY Smoke • Water Cleanup Certified-Bonded on the room. • Skylights and solar tubes are natu- ral alternatives for adding light to a space. • Increase the appearance of the size of the room by adding mirrors. They not only refl ect images, but also refl ect light and color while adding a decorative ele- ment to the room. 3. Use storage products to help you get organized. • If shelving and closet organization kits aren’t enough, keep clothes in stor- age bins. If you have too much, hold a garage sale or donate items to charity. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t worn it in two years, it’s time to let it go. • Store your utensils in an orderly fashion. Inexpensive baskets and bins work for oddly shaped items or small appliances. Keep stemware, plates and bowls grouped by function, style and shape. This will not only create a uni- form look, but save time when meal prep is in full swing. • You always have the option to build custom solutions, but sometimes that forces you to choose between style and functionality. If you’d rather not sacrifi ce one or the other, Lowe’s offers a wide variety of products that allow you to have both. Ultimately, it’s important to re- member to not bite off more than you can chew. One of the biggest mistakes people make when decluttering is not setting realistic goals on the front end. Come up with a plan before diving in. Look at the room as a whole and then focus on one corner at a time. Once progress is being made, it will motivate you to keep going.
