The farrier warned me that her feet will be worse now than they have ever been because of the nails hole growing down.
However when he took a look he was really pleased with Joy's feet. He said that if she's that good now then he can't see her having a problem.
My only concern is that I have been avoiding as much as posible our stonier tracks. On the one occasion I did one for a short cut when the heavens opened I had to get off and lead Joy home.
Does anyone use hoof boots at the back too? Most of what I have been reading seems to be with people using them only in front and she's shod at the front anyway.
I want to be able to do the tracks more, especially as the weather improves as that's where I get most of my canters.
It's very important to me that Joy is comfortable.
