Heruntergekommene Hundehütte auf dem Hof in Jeziorko.

Ein anderes Beispiel einer schlechten Hundehütte auf einem Hof in Walsnow.

Eine Woche später in Walsnow kann unser Team eine Veränderung feststellen – eine brandneue Hundehütte.

Und unsere Hufschmiede setzen die Behandlung des Hengstes fort.

Ein offener Unterstand erlaubt den Kühen, die meiste Zeit im Freien zu verbringen.

Dank des Elektrozauns werden die Pferde einen neuen Paddock haben.

Eine hinkende Kuh braucht die Hilfe unserer Hufschmiede.

Ziegen sind üblicherweise sehr ruhige und kooperative Kundschaft.

In September, our Polish team visited 12 farms. They trimmed hooves of 15 horses, claws of 4 cows and some goats. Just a few of these animals were limping; the rest just needed regular service. In Jeleniów, our team has seen a very good but sadly uncommon solution for cows: an open shed. This allows animals spend most of the time outside. In Jezow, Michal & Bogdan visited a sheep farm. The farmer wanted to buy an electric fence. He has already prepared a paddock for his herd. Now he needs to install new equipment. Next our farriers were called to limping cows at a farm in Jeziorko. The lameness was caused by overgrown claws. After trimming the cows could walk without pain again. Our team noticed that the dog house was in a very poor condition at this farm. They saw a similar problem with a dog house at a farm in Walsnow. Here, a stallion with cracked heels needed our help. Both farmers got warnings that we will stop providing our services if they do not improve dog houses before our next visit. A week later our team went to check the condition of the stallion and dog house in Walsnow. The farmer installed a brand new dog house, and our team could continue treating the stallion’s feet.
