Re: Re: Supplimenting endurance horses



I am planning on competing my gelding shoeless. He has had one set of shoes
in his life(he's 5) and has no hoof problems. I currently ride him
everywhere completely barefoot in a very rocky, hard ground environment. I
want to put him on a hoof supplement and joint supplement as "preventative
maintenance". Any recommendations?
