Losing shoes and soreness?

[mtj]

My horse rarely loses shoes.

Just started to change his way of going in canter - sitting more - only asking for few strides at a time.

Don't know if its a coincidence, but he has started losing a front shoe in the field.

Obviously he will be turned out in over reach boots from now on.

Any thoughts?

Might have an abscess brewing - they often pull them off if they do.

Best take the other 3 off!

Nice idea, but he is a warmblood with thoroughbred feet.

I think sir would expect a full set of boots on at all times.
