Firstly this is not a Barefoot post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 19 y/o ex event TB mare is now officially retired, and I will be taking her shoes off in the winter, when the ground has softened a bit.
The trouble is she has got really quite rubbish feet, and I am petrified that they will just crumble, crack and fall to bits.
I currently use Cornucrescine to promote some hoof growth as the farrier is constantly moaning that hes got nothing to bang new nails into!
She will have to walk about 200 m to her field and back every day down a farm lane, and then into the concrete yard and to her stable morning and night when she comes in.
So, 2 questions really - shall I take her sheos off and risk it, and secondly if I do, what supplements/treatments are really decent for rubbish feet!
Thanks in advance
