Bonnie, I have Old Macs and love them! They stay put and my guy moves well in them. I am also just getting into Endurance riding. I only use them on the front,...
About five weeks ago, I purchased a 6 y.o. barefoot gaited gelding who had one NATRC ride and one 30 mile LD under his belt, completing both soundly and not...
Easyboots are fairly light, but in my experience they don't stay on. And if you don't hammer those prong thingies flat they will dig into the hoof wall. And...

Sue I purchased new TWH gelding in Jan for endurance riding. He was 4 1/2 at the time. He had been barefoot all of his life. How lucky was I to find that!...
Hi there I haven't posted on this message board for awhile but I have been reading with interest... The recent rain here (far south coast of NSW Australia) has...
Hi guys - sorry for the cross post but I'm trying to reach as many people as I can in hopes of finding someone out there that can give me the help and support...
I really need some help and am hoping some of you can lead me thru this with natural trims and with natural remedys to give to this poor gal. I have been...
What kind of pasture is he in? Is there indication that the horse might have been foundered and this is what is causing the soreness? If the latter is...
During the acute founder stages, they are now recommending deep shavings and straw. I have also heard of styrofoam shoes to take the impact. Bute for pain...
Pam, I truly feel for you. I know that doesn't help, I wish you were just a little closer, I live in North Central AR. I am currently going through a ...
If you really need to get after those feet and it sounds like you do I would recommend you get your vet to come out and give him a shot for pain and to relax....
to Bonnie and Pam- God bless both of you and your horses. I wouldn't give up til the horse does. Where there's life there's hope! Wish I were closer to help....

I think what has happened to him would fit the definition of a mechanical founder. He's a real hardy boy and probably has less grass available to him here than...

Greetings, First, an apology if this question has been asked a million times already on this list. I was unable to ride much for the past year due to an...
You will find that with founder you will get a zillion different opinions. I have a foundered mare, and I have just taken everything in, and then done what I...
Well have you tried riding him barefooted on the trails or not? What makes youthink he needs hoof protection? Is it just because he has three white feet or...
Another thing I just thought of, I believe I have read that pregnant mares will get more relaxed tendons and ligaments the farther along they get in their...
