I am going to try to keep our big lad without shoes if possible. He hasn't had shoes on for at least a year, but when we bought him he had dreadful feet all with seedy toe and thrush. They are now looking good and my farrier is really pleased with them and supportive of trying without shoes.
I would like to be prepared for any tenderness though, and am looking at hoof boots for the front. His hooves are white and very round (and quite large) He is a good middleweight 16.2. Will this make a difference?
So looking for others' experiences, the ones I have most commonly heard of are Cavallo which it seems are better for narrower hooves. He will be coming in to work this week.
