Sorry to harp on about this but alot of guys have got more experience than me on this!
So, his shoes have been off for 3 weeks. Obviously while the nail holes are growing out they're getting a little split, but on the whole pretty good.
I'm using Cornucrescine brand hoof hardener on the inside and hoof moist/hardener (alternative days) on the outside....
He's on Equihoof supplement and we're avoiding gravel (apart from on the way to the field which is unavoidable)
Will I ever be able to ride him on gravelish tracks again or am I destined for a life of grass riding? alot of the hacks near me (banstead downs/park downs) all require us to ride for a short while on gravelly tracks......he's totally sound on the roads now.
thanks x
