Horse Sense
Sound Or Lame: It’s Often Found
In The Health Of The Sole
(NAPSA)—When it
comes to keeping your
horse healthy, hoof care
is often the critical ele-
ment that allows you to
enjoy normal activities
with your horse, such as
riding. 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. When a shoe is
applied, it’s important
that the farrier addresses

(NAPSA)—Even the cleanest home
will look] messy if it’s not properly or-
ganized. 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

length of the shoe and as-
sures it fi ts the feet cor-
rectly.
2. 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.

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. Visit

ther information and edu-
cational videos.

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.
