... to jump on grass with 3 shoes on?! Horse pulled shoe off, can't get hold of blacksmith as usual, and meant to be having jumping lesson tonight!
it's a front shoe...
 
if it was my horse i wouldnt have a hope of jumping her because she gets so foot sore without a shoe...but still it will make your horse very unbalanced especially as it is a front shoe. i wouldnt jump if i were you.
 
I wouldn't - horse can get a bit unbalanced & puts more pressure on the legs .

That's only my opinion though !
 
that's true, i hadn't thought about it unbalancing her. dammit!
it's possible i could jump on a surface indoors but that wouldn't help with the balance issue would it, so not helpful!
