Please be careful if you decide to pull shoes.It can cause trouble.My quarter horse mare has problem
feet.She kept getting quarter
cracks, bad ones. When I found out
about Old Macs, I thought all my hoof problems were history. Even had a special hoof and leg vet OK
pulling the shoes.About 4 days
after shoes were pulled Sierra came down with laminitis.It was a moderate case, but could have killed
her.The vet felt the laminitis was
due to hoof expansion.She has old
feet that will not tolerate the expansion afforded by going barefoot.Took several months to heal, but Sierra
is fine today, 18 months later.
I realize I have big trouble when I have horse trouble, so I
suspect you will be fine. But be
careful and watchful if you pull shoes.I fixed my hoof problems with Biotin –Plus, 50mg supplement and a
new farrier. Good luck!
