Has anyone any ideas what I can do with my youngster. He has heartbars on front feet and his toes are cut short as trips a lot if slightly long none behind .His pedal bone is 'flatter' than it should be.He is sound as long as he has shoes on. He loses one every 10 days on average,you get one put on next the other shoe comes off sometimes even before the farriers put the first one back on!
Excelled himself today he has lost both! Only got them on a fortnight ago! Farrier due on scheduled visit on 27th/28th dec so not too long but its this stopping and starting affecting his schooling (he was only rebacked this year due to stifle op last year).Its always when am on hols so can't do anything with him!!!!
Have tried to continue when he loses shoe but he really needs them.Generally his actual hooves are good but continually pulling shoes off aren't doing them any favours.
Did look at those shoe secure but farrier didn't think it would work on him as he has quite a bit of support at heel so unsure if I would create another problem of grit/dirt getting between skin and shoe secure.
Anyone any suggestions?
