Hoof Growth....

[_OC_]

....does anyone have this problem,where there, horse's feet grow to fast!

I'm fortunate that my cob has such good feet....but,they grow to quick,and have had to call the farrier to shoe, as the fronts are over growing his shoe!(Was booked in for next week!)

After 4 weeks,even more

Waiting for him to call back as urgent.....does any one else have this problem.....last Summer had to be done in three weeks!

I'm just curious that I'm not alone......and have to spend more per year,and at £72 per set..ain't cheap!

Feet grow quicker in the summer. Its not unusual to need the farrier one or two weeks earlier than in winter.

You are lucky, my horse's feet do not grow much at all and he get cracks in the old nail holes due to this.

My horse is just making it to 5 weeks at the mo. I'm so lucky she has good feet even if they do grow too fast for my purse to keep up. Thankfully she still only has a front set.
