I put on the brakes to consult with my vet first. She'll be trimmed now, and we'll try shoes come spring.<br /><br />CFS, boots is something that hadn't occurred to me. I'll have to check it out with my vet.Muddy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937615888562277779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-83051506151809157392011-01-19T15:31:56.546-06:002011-01-19T15:31:56.546-06:00Too long on the hinds also.Too long on the hinds also.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428008814751524182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-18650621010050606792011-01-19T15:28:16.270-06:002011-01-19T15:28:16.270-06:00Toes too long, esp in front, imo.

I don't envy you having to make your way through all this information to figure out what is best for your horse. <br /><br />There will always be more opinions than you know what to do with. As horse owners we just have to do what we feel is right and know that's the best we can do. <br /><br />Good luck on this journey.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-25579346542033683042011-01-17T15:38:54.046-06:002011-01-17T15:38:54.046-06:00How great that you were able to get those x rays. ...How great that you were able to get those x rays.

I am a barefoot supporter, but sometimes there are valid reasons to have shoes on a horse. You must be relieved.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-82635284014665387872011-01-17T07:21:42.826-06:002011-01-17T07:21:42.826-06:00You have been awarded the "Stylish Blogger Aw...You have been awarded the "Stylish Blogger Award".

In a wild situation horses with imperfections are weeded out, we can overcome that with diet, exercise and sometimes, shoeing. I am not a proponent of just slapping shoes on all horses. I have tried with nearly every horse I have owned to have them barefoot. For most (not all) the choice came down to ride or barefoot. Both was too hard on the horse. Remember they are replaced often so it's not like a lifetime commitment, if it doesn't help, just undo it.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571711150060964222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-86375143706853434482011-01-16T09:12:12.214-06:002011-01-16T09:12:12.214-06:00Peace of mind is priceless isn't it?!

I wonder if using a boot when working would be a compromise with the shoe / uneven wear issue? Good luck on that :)Calm, Forward, Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360276614916635500noreply@blogger.com
