2 1/2 yo cob has a crack on front foot. Farrier thought maybe seedy toe as there was also a small hole at the toe on the sole. Three months on it looks no better :-( farrier says it needs support from a shoe otherwise it will continue to travel up the hoof wall. However he did say that to date the crack is still on the old 'baby' hoof and that the adult foot looks better quality.
I'm very reluctant to shoe as my last horse pulled them constantly and it cost me a fortune and wrecked his feet :-(
Any advice? His feet are typical cob broad if that helps .......
