Hii,
Right I have a 14year old 16.2hh piebald cob, I am having difficulty in picking up his feet... he hasnt always been like this only the past 6months all because i found a hole in his frog that was home to a load of maggotts so i flushed it out with hydrogen peroxide the neautralised it with IPA.
But after all that he moves around and refuses to have both front feet picked up. i even have problems with the farrier he rears but when he does theres no weight in his front legs its like he wants to get away. but after the farrier has had ago he will just stand there its just breaking throught that barrier. how can i do the same without getting hurt??
Is it a good idea to use a calmer for the first couple of times? Only his frogs are starting to rott and i really need help big time now
Thankyou.
