Personally, I think the ground turning hard is far less likely the cause of footiness than the grass. ….take away the grass and you’ll...

I would suspect low grade laminitis and take him off the grass for now.

Sounds like the complaint of someone who can't train the competition horses he's selling to hack safely, and is salty about it.
