well my big fella is putting himself through it atm lol
two fractured teeth and now im worried about one of his hind shoes

he has rather cr@p feet as it is but they are improving. he threw a front shoe about 3 weeks ago. and today i noticed on one his hind shoes (left hind) he has managed to virtually pull the third from the front inside nail right down to the bottom of his hoof and its sticking out a little. none of the other nails appear to have moved and while it is slightly loose, it is by no means hanging off or even close. well YET at least.

he is now turned out with overreach boots both on his front and hinds (unconventional i know)
erm any advice as to what i should or could do would be brilliant

thankyou
 
get your farrier out asap and see what he says any real prob that he cant sort out he should advise to get the vet out but im sure it will be fine once farrier has a look as long as hes a good one i had a farrier once that just ignored a crack on my horses hoof told me it was superficial ended up getting a new farrier and my horse on box rest for 3months
