Ben is shod on his front feet only. On our hack on Sunday he lost a shoe in the woods. The farrier is being arranged by the YO and will hopefully come tomorrow. I asked yesterday if i should rest him until the farrier came, but the YO said that as long as I stick to the school and don't jump or do overly fast work, he will be fine. I asked a couple of other people and they agreed that light school work was fine.
Does this sound right to you? Do you ride in the school if your horse has lost a shoe? I did tonight, but I couldn't help feeling that I was doing something wrong. We stuck mainly to walk even though Ben could really have done with a good trot and was certainly up for working.
I'm just interested in what everyone else does.
