I tried her barefoot...Nina wears her feet off too. I tried her barefoot just on the back over the winter and she is getting shod this month. She has normal looking hoof wall, thin soles and wears her feet off like erasers. Sometimes barefoot doesn't work for working horses.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571711150060964222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442265998089372156.post-87820672500055460662011-04-14T13:33:31.686-07:002011-04-14T13:33:31.686-07:00Got any photos?

Another term for that is "self trimming."<br /><br />About the soreness: If she's got thrush and he took her heels down that would cause some soreness. <br /><br />What's she eating? This is the perfect time for horses to get laminitis from grass. Mild laminitis could easily cause her soreness. Check out http://www.safergrass.org/.<br /><br />Are you riding her on gravel or rocks now that you weren't before? Soles need to build callus to deal with tougher terrain.<br /><br />Exercise stimulates hoof growth, the only way your horse would be wearing off more hoof than she was growing would be if you were riding miles and miles on pavement. I'm guessing you're not doing that. I think farriers say that because horses will sometimes show wear on their toes, that probably means that their toe is too long.<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, I'm a bit of a hoof nerd.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.com
