Schooling horse in field with slightly loose shoe?

[Supertrooper]

Would you?? Only want to do 10mins tomorrow, can't get farrier out till friday.

It's only slightly loose xx

Personally I wouldn't. If the farrier is coming so soon its not worth it.

That's what I'm thinking, that's fine xxx

My Farrier always says a loose shoe is worse than a missing shoe.

Always happens at the most awkward moment doesnt it!!!

but is the shoe loose because the foot is dry and the holes around the nails seem bigger to make a tight fit in which case soak your horses feet for 5-10mins and the feet will absorb the water correct the moisture in the hoof and swell slightly making a loose shoe become tight again long enough for 10mins work.
