Thanks im not really sure what to do! He doesn't have great feet and i dont want to damage them! He is quite prone to getting abscesses in his left hind! What boots do you use?

My horse wears shoes on his front hoofs but not the back! I have to ride on road to get to any grass paths or beach and i am wondering if it would be ok for him to have shoes on front and hoof boots on the back hooves? I dont want him shod on his back hooves as he is known for kicking out at my...

I have just started feeding my TBx biotin as his feet are pretty poor, I also want to start feeding cider vinegar as he's getting on a bit and also garlic as the flies are just crazy here!! So this means he would be getting biotin, cider vinegar and garlic would this be alright? or a bit much?

thanks everyone! he'll be getting his teeth checked next week we had already thought of that! He was fed horsehage yday and so far no choke episodes so we'll see how things go i suppose! He's an old boy 19 and as far as i know he hasn't had a tieback op! Fingers crossed everythings ok!!
