I have only been waiting for around 7 months as his feet are poor and well that is an understatement!! I bet the weather turns really nasty and I can't get him doing something I should stop being so negative! Anyway the blacksmith said his feet are really good, but I have changed nothing, he is out all the time rugged up with hay and 2 feeds a day and the same feed type he always gets, he is just torture for his feet being really poor. We have tried all the various supplements but they never work I just do not understand him, anyway at least he has 4 shoes on and can go out (after some work in the field) I'm so happy really.

When a horse wears shoes there is very little pressure on the frog and the sole of the hoof and this is very unnatural. By removing the shoes he is in a more natural state and the blood supply to the growing parts of his hooves would have been much greater, therefore creating a better growth. Sometimes if you massage the coronet band it helps to increase the blood flow also...so maybe now he is shod it would be a good idea to do this for a few mins everyday (or whenever you can) just to help keep his hooves strong. I used to use Cornucrescine to rub into the coronet band too as my fella had very brittle hooves when shod.

He did have good feet until about 3ish but was not broken until he was 6 and only got shoes on after that! The hi-fibre feed does help - I will try the cornucrescine again just to see if it helps, along with the blacksmith every 6 weeks! I have to work out how to get the pics from my phone onto here so you can see him and the rest of the gang.

Do you keep over reach boots on him??? As I know I'd just get my Lads feet right, when he would rip off a newly placed shoe and take half of his hoof with him......Anyone would think he did it on purpose. Get on and enjoy him while his feet are good, eh. ____________ Jules and the Ark Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2007 10:00 pm hdonna Newbie Joined: Aug 01, 2007 Posts: 9 Age: 36 No.Of Pets: 5 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 0 Thank Location: buckinghamshire Medals: None 51 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: great news and just keep doing what you ahve been doing and thing may improve Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2007 3:39 pm Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  All times are GMT Pet Chat Forum Index » horse/donkey/goats Printable Version   Jump to: Select a forum Pet site information----------------Updates & AnnouncementsWebsite HelpSuggestionsFurbabies News Pet Forums----------------Pet HealthIntroshorse/donkey/goatsBird Chat ForumsHealthPet ChatExotic Pet ForumRodent chatFish ForumsPet StoriesRabbit Chat ForumPet Breeders & BreedingPet RescueOff TopicLost PetsFound PetsDiscountsRainbow BridgeDiet Cat & Dog Forums----------------Dog ForumsCat ForumsAgilityShows  Related topics  Topics   Replies   Author   Views   Last Post  couple of short videos of Obi doing tricks 7 honeydlc 451 Wed Dec 12, 2007 1:45 pm VickienBubs WHAT are we doing to our dogs now: 31 Lisa_Ianniello 1178 Fri Sep 14, 2007 10:54 pm clareabella What are you and your pets doing over Easter? 3 littlelab 419 Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:07 pm LouLou scooby doing wat he does best... 2 shadylady 376 Fri Feb 23, 2007 6:36 am jabbro So what are you all doing this Bank Holiday weekend? 4 spottydog 567 Fri Apr 14, 2006 7:46 am pollaton   All times are GMT Ported for PHP-Nuke by nukemods.com Powered by phpBB 2.0.11 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group :: Theme & Graphics by Daz Forums ©
