- Dr. Candace Platz, left, inspects the hind flank of her Brazilian Lusitano, Vereador, as farrier Billy Velix of Florida works on his other hoof at Platz’s home in Poland on Thursday. Platz flies Velix in every five weeks so he, along with hoof care specialist Susan Walker of Poland and farrier Dave Whitaker of Saco can work on 9 to 10 of her and her friends’ horses. Deb O’Conner, right, of Belchertown, Mass., drove four hours to see Velix, who treated her mare that had been lame for six years. “She’s 99 percent healed,” O’Connor said. “I can ride her now, where I couldn’t before.”
