hi all!!i have added some pics of my chaps feet taken tonight into my "my horses album"in my profile could you please have a look and tell me what you think compared to the pics of when his shoes were first taken off,still havent figured out how to get them on post!!
i rode him for first time in his boots (boas) and he seemed ok,although he was a little trippy,but i put this down to the new feel of them.
when i got back from ride i noticed a bit of rubbing (so will try and get the gaiters on with them,i did try tonight but very difficult so i gave up!!)
but what is worrying me is that he has some heat in all 4 feet and when i came back from ride he was putting toe down first on concrete which he hasnt been doing before,hes out on pretty lush grass at the mo so im torn between if its the start of lami or if its the thrush that i noticed he has devoloped,thrush isnt bad just slightly smelly,and i am treating it,also ive noticed the other horses poo is green and my chaps is a light brown colour and pretty loose (hes not having any feeds at the mo so should be green i would think)any clues????long thread im sorry :)
 
Hi jack, my names jen and im new on here , im a barefoot geek and ill try and give my humble opinion, if i can work out how to look at your pics,

when you down load the pics from a camera ,1/they go into your url, once there there ,2/open a photobucket account and 3/click upload them onto photo bucket, again once there you scroll over the bottom of the pic and a few (img) boxes will pop up, but dont stay if you move your mouse too quick, all you do is click the (img) box it automatically copies then you are able to paste on your posts,

ive been on the barefoot route about 9 or 10 ish years, and in all honesty beauty is as beauty does , if there working and your horse isnt lame with no infecion your onto a winner,:cool:

Not answering the barefoot sorry dont know but picked up on lush grass etc so get them off this for a start restrict grazing for starters. Horses poos do vary and usually if its green could be too much lush grass...get them off. Hot feet might be good to stable and give some hay ad lib but off the grass..sorry am sounding like a parrot! Keep a close eye.
