Hello!
I've had my horse just 3 weeks now - she is currently unshod and I was advised by vet at pre-purchase vetting to keep them like that for as long as possible as he said she had great hooves! So far I have just been putting a daily conditioner on them and farrier is due next week. Can you suggest any other good measures/supplements for keeping healthy barefeet? Whilst I'm not really doing any roadwork I would like to keep them unshod for the time being.
Just for reference how regularly do those of you with barefoot horses get them trimmed?
Thanks!
