Competition Titanium Horse power

[Fletcher]

I need help; I've been feeding my miniature horse large quantities of organic selenium w/ a biotin concentrate. Yesterday, I noticed that his hoofs were GIGANTIC! Does anyone know where I can pick up a large set of titanium shoes ???????

what's wrong with the plain ol shoes that diamond makes, or St. Croix? is there a special reason fot Titanium.

maybe this thread should be in other, unless of course, your gigantic footed horse does the tractor pulls.

LOL, horseshoes.com has them or just about any Farrier that works at the track would be able to get you (the horse) shod.



good to see you spared no exspense for the little fella. most folks feed through the inorganic stuff and think its actually doing something

Be careful with that selenium. It can be very toxic.



Selenium toxicity is characterized by dermatologic lesions; selenotic animals and humans develop brittle hair and nails/hooves. Sporadic cases of selenium-poisoning have been reported involving industrial or accidental exposures to selenium-compounds. In certain rural Chinese communities chronic intakes of very high amounts (several milligrams per day) of selenium were linked to skin, hair and nail abnormalities which disappeared upon resuming regular selenium intakes.



I would say that your over sized hooves are the least of your problems. Good luck man. :-laf

Fletcher,

Not to worry, we are currently working on billet horse-shoes. We will be using

300M. I have recently hired a rather elderly gentleman as our CNC programer.

He immigrated to the US last year from a rural area in northen China. We have been experiencing some severe grooving type damage on the CNC keyboard but have found the source of the problem. We have removed all of this gentleman's fingernails and as soon as his hands heal we will resume production. In the interem I recommend you restrict the horse's intake of the biotin concentrate as there are limits to the availability of 300M in large deminsions. I think it would be ok for you to maintain your normal dosage.

Hi Fletcher,



I think the bigger question here iswhat will this ingestion of Selenium do to the power to weight ratio of your minature horse :--) , also of concern may be what sort of change this will make to handling qualities of the critter as well :-laf

I have an alternative for your shoes. Over the last year we have been working non-stop on the oversize shoe issue. We are currently making shoes out of 6AL4V and have found it has good wear characteristics but is still heavy unless your horse is on steroids also. We have switched to a carbon fiber base with ceramic buttons. It is far superior. Cost will not be an issue as you are a TDR member and will receive a $1000 dollar per set discount. Please send us a CAD drawing of your horses hoofs and a cashiers check for $4500 as a 50 percent down payment for the shoes. Please also send us the horses most recent CAT scan and a Stool sample so we can enter the animals DNA profile into our data base.
