update on seady toe horse,now really confused!!

[amandap]

it makes sense but what if the horse doesnt get enough time on abrasive(sp) surfaces surely then would need a helping hand?

He recons they still are ok for the environment in which the hoof/horse spends most of it's time, the walls are the main thing to keep in check as well as things like thrush. Have a read of his articles he explains things so well.

If the soaking etc. made no difference to his comfort I'd think about minerals then. Try the equimins meta balance for starters if analysis is not practical.You need to phone to order it as it's not on the web site. It has no iron in it which is commonly everywhere so often in excess and interfers with other mineral absorbtion.
