Horse lame after shoeing

[Michen]

Day after shoeing (possibly day of but Not noticed) my horse is short in front on both feet. Nothing drastic but noticeable when I got on mostly on the hard. Feet are a little warm.

I’ve buted and turned out- should I ask farrier to come back and refit shoes or wait until Monday and see if he’s sound by then?

Or do the shoes need removing straight away if nail bind? Which seems unlikely in both feet.. so maybe just taken too much off?

Horse has good strong feet and never had an issue post shoeing in the 4 years I’ve had him (same farrier)

Meant to put this in tack room so admin please delete!

Contact the farrier. It would be bad luck to have nail bind in both fronts but could happen and the Farrier needs to know that there is an issue.

Can you remove the shoes yourself if they can't come soon? My experience with nail bind is that it got worse and worse over time and then dramatically improved once the shoe was off.

If too much has been trimmed off the farrier still needs to know and I would want shoes off and you might need to pad the feet for a few days or put on a deep bed.

I’ve text my farrier but not heard back yet. I could remove the shoes potentially myself but I don’t think that’s always sensible if too much has been taken off as it’s essentially more trauma to the feet? I don’t know..

it’s not noticeable on grass etc just hard.
