Shoe came off!

[neigh31]

My horses front shoe came off today after just over 6 weeks of having her shoed. Her shoe came off and 4 nails came with it and i found another one in her field. But she has 3 nails in her foot, i tried to get the nails out but there wedged in. After 15 minutes of trying i still couldn't get them out and she started being a moody mare and fidgeting, so i put her back and gave her, her bucket. There not sticking out or anything, you can just see them. I was just wondering if there is anything i can try to get them out because farrier can't come until tomorro or the next day??

It will be fine for a day, dont worry. You could do more damage than good by trying to get them out

I agree. I'd leave it for the farrier, but get him/her out asap.

By the way, do you actually mean you found a NAIL in the field?! My mare lost a shoe in her field and I gave up trying to find it (although I did find someone else's!). Needles in haystacks come to mind...
