We got a lovely 4yr filly off the track 8yrs ago and took her shoes off for her time off and she has never had them put back on!!!! We are barefoot riders anyway, all the horses have " scooter booters" on, all have a trim every 6wks and they do all disciplines😊 so don't loss faith, it is so much cheaper.
@@JudyHall-wq8kg Yeah, I will be trying again. Not for saving money as my barefoot trimmer actually costs more than a farrier but for the health of her feet :D. Scoot boots didn't quite fit her but she has some Flex boots ready :D
@hopefullyeventing wow more expensive!!!!! A trim for us is $50 and a full shoe is $130, all our horses have very good hard feet our climate is very different over here in Western Australia 😀
@@JudyHall-wq8kg Yeah a farrier here usually charges about £25 for a trim but our barefoot trimmers are £35-45. She only has front shoes on so it doesn't make much difference.
Gelitin sachets helped my boys feet 😊
Never heard of giving that. She's on a really good hoof balancer now so fingers crossed that helps
aha I thought are you trying again, lol
I will be over the winter :D
Feed biotin
She is on an all-round hoof balancer.
