When I bought mare as a 3yr old, she had fronts on and this was only due to an injury and Liphook deemed it the way forward.
Fast forward 5 years. She was shod behind due to scraping/eroding toes at 5 yrs of age.She'd been investigated at vet and declared pre arthritic hocks. He said excellent feet all round, put backs on if needed, a year later we did.
Now moved yard to a flatter area, only tapped toes on a hill, so back shoes have come off.
Her feet appear quite soft, bits have broken off since Thursday.
Can I do road work or should I wait for them to toughen up?
If all goes well, I may take her fronts off too as no medical reason not to any longer.
Sorry, I have rambled
