Discovered hack up bespoke though the changes in horses he was already shoeing.
Stephen Davis AWCF knew of Hack Up Bespoke before he became our farrier, only we had no idea! He had been shoeing difficult horses, which suddenly became better behaved? Customers told him from one yard to the next that they were using Hack Up Bespoke, we have heard similar stories form our Rossdales vet when he is out doing teeth, so it was not a new story to us. When we looked into the names of his customers to see the bespoke formulations that we had created, we discovered that it was all down to combination of calming detox and joint products that the horses had been fed. So getting the call off us to look at our horses started to unlock a relationship that has flourished. The hoof bespoke product, in particular he was very impressed with, when we pushed it to its limits with Junior, who seems to have been sold to us to become a really strong challenge for all our product development! Last summer Junior suffered a frightening systemic breakdown following fly bites. He ended up on a long course of steroids prescribed by Rossdales Hospital, to avoid celluloses and the breakdown potentially damaging his liver/kidney. This had an awful effect on his hoof quality. Stephen wrapped his feet in a cast, so he did not need to nail into his soft wall for 6 weeks, and we fed our hoof supplement – Stephen was amazed to see the improvements when he returned. We cast again for a second shoeing to be safe as he was starting to get back into his advanced dressage so we did not want to take any risks. At this point Stephen was really starting to work with Aex and get educated as to why this result was so stunning , when he shoes many horses who are on ‘off the shelf hoof supplements’ with little or no effect, in his opinion as a farrier. Alex discussed the active ingredients and the effect of these in varying quantities in horses. Stephen now wears the Hack Up Jacket as our official farrier and recommends our bespoke as the best there is for hoof, suppleness and temperament changes.
