I have a 4yo OTTB who threw a front shoe on Tuesday and the farrier came today. He said his hoof was very warm but I did say that he does usually have quite warm feet so I dismissed it and got distracted. When I went back tonight the other front is cool. Is there anything I should do or worry about. Forgive me but he’s m my first baby and I do worry a lot
 
You should check all 4. Surprisingly often one is temporarily cooler than the others, not hotter, and this isn't a problem. I think I would also expect aTB without one shoe for a few days to have a warm foot for up to a week.

I’m trying to work out if he can be ridden or not. It was cooler this morning but still warm. Would he be ok for a hack tomorrow?
