So after a lot of thought and a not so successful attempt not so long ago with hinds(my lack of experience mainly I admit hands up) I have spoke to a great guy who specialises In barefoot.I have been becoming slowly concerned about malaikas feet,fronts mainly and damage been caused by shoes to the condition of them and asked farrier for advice he didn't have much to say.he is a lovely man but doesn't really do barefoot.so having been tweaking diet and having the management side all sorted and now talking to my lovely new hoof man he is coming either tomorrow or early next week to remove shoes and start the the transition to barefoot with malaika and me.he is very good at what he does,his partners horses compete endurance barefoot and his horses are too,has great testimonials and I am very honoured to be having him take on malaika and me as clients.
So I'm anxious,scared and also very happy to be doing this in the right way.
My old horse was barfoot the last year I had her and was great but she was pretty much retired,I'm not sure why I am so scared this time round but am also excited.he also fits and sells boots so I have help all round from diet,exercise etc so fingers crossed
