As title suggests really - my girl is seemingly ok, glossy coat, feet of steel (horsefink) happy etc however a friend has just started down the barefoot road, been barefoot for 4 weeks now and there's not much change in the foot. They're hard and ok enough but they're not growing fast enough and there is no concavity appearing, there's also slight WLD in around the white line which isn't serious (and this could well be the muddy weather we're experiencing) but obviously needs addressing.
I think she needs to address something in the diet - she asked me, but what though - my reply is generally, I have no idea - i've always gone down the trial and error route which is expensive and difficult to monitor. She's on equinourish by Trinity and a magnesium supplement on top of that.
We're unable to get the hay analysed as it comes from different sources a lot of the time through our yard.
So - my question is (finally) is there any blood/urine/anything tests we can send off to someone to work out what they horses may need?
Thanks for reading!
