Are there any particular horse health/foot problems that Cytek shoeing has helped?
Bronwyn: Cytek relieves most lameness problems with drastic results in horses/ponies with founder, laminitis, pedolostitis, navicular disesase, collapsed & contracted heels. Cytek is not a miracle shoe and won’t fix a broken horse but provides the correct break over, balance and support required to perform to the best of his natural ability. SHNZ: How do Cytek shoes compare with conventional shoes with regards to wear and price? Bronwyn: A Cytek application is more expensive than a traditional application. In horses with good feet a horse can go 8-10 weeks without detriment to the horse as Cytek allows the horse to regulate his own hoof growth. Horses shod traditionally on average last 4-5 weeks and the hoof grows in length and becomes very unbalanced. Cytek is more economical than traditional farriery and far outweighs traditional farriery in the benefits it can offer you and your horse. Riders notice dramatic improvements in their horses immediately.
