Farrier Dave Giza of Genesis Farriers has been treating Cali, a 26 year-old Thoroughbred mare, for four years. Due to metabolic foundering, Cali suffers from acute laminitis in both front feet causing consistent abscesses in both hooves and chronic pain. Over the years, Giza has tried many types of shoes on her, including steel, aluminum and Soft Ride boots, but nothing could alleviate Cali’s pain.
