that might work if it can be done from a bit of a distance, mind you knowing her she'll make a fuss over the noise of the aerosol :oops:

Yes i was thinking the same thing, im waiting for the vet to call me back, maybe he will send me some sedation to use for the farrier or for when we can do it. We managed, with great difficulty, to get the hoof stuff in the crack day before yesterday and was planning on redoing it today but...

we hit a big block this morning she is not letting us do anything with one of her back legs just kicking out nearly caught my daughter in the face, she put her hands up and said i can't do this no more, my daughter has been so good with her having near on misses but today as soon as you picked...

our mare didn't tolerate the soaking either, anyone would of thought id walked her into a lake full of crocodiles. I'm only down in the evening as our yard is a fair distance away, so have to do it all at once. can't wait for the crack to grow out and then will defo keep on top can't do this again

did you find your horse was reluctant to let you clear the mud out of the crack when it was at its worse

No she is in of a night but at the moment she has been in since saturday, planning on turning her back out when the farrier has been on monday. Did you just use the hoof stuff in the split as I've been trying to syringe iodine in there first, not sure if both treatments together was too much...

Thank you everyone, Have still been keeping her in and she seems to be tolerating it quite well easing my guilt a little. We have been packing the deep cleft out with the red horse hoof stuff, she is still objecting and still trying to cow kick our heads off of our shoulders, I'm impressed...

thank you, will defo keep at it

normally she is ridden about 5 times a week, a mix of schooling, hacking and jumping but over the last month this has been reduced due to such bad weather and my daughter having a foot op so she has been ridden on average 3 times a week

no I don't mind i appreciate the help, I will take some tomorrow. I did get some of the supplement you suggested, so will be gradually introducing that to her feeds

thank you, my daughter and I have been working really hard over the last 3/4 days to tackle the thrush and last night when i took the photos I could notice an improvement and tonight better still, i have kept her in the last couple of days

thank you, i can see the points you have made, so maybe looking for a new farrier wouldn't go amiss then. none of the points you have made are down to her feet being due are they??

ive done it, thanks for all your help. let me know if there are any other angles that would be useful, photos are of both back feet, she is due the farrier so her frogs are really ready for a trim

Tried the facebook route, minimising them and ive screenshot them keeps saying too big, what a pain in the rear
