Interested in your thoughts regarding LGL and shoes masking the symptoms. Is the horse without shoes who gets very footy on rich spring grass and finds working difficult better off than the shod horse who may still get LGL but with shoes doesn't show footiness? My horse got LGL last June - her first summer barefoot and I've just had to take her off the grass yesterday because she was footy,had warm feet and pulses. Already all heat and pulses have gone today. However, I'm now thinking she could well have had LGL 2 years ago - same grazing - but she was shod and not obviously in pain. Does shod with LGL = no pain and unshod with LGL = pain?
