Okay, folks, this comes under the heading of good idea gone horribly wrong.
My corral was becoming a swamp whenever we have a little rain or snow (very
little, we're in drought) so my husband decided to put in a couple loads of
crushed asphalt, thinking it would pack down and be easy to clean out. Now my
mares each have one hoof with what amounts to concrete packed into it, and so
far we have not been able with hoof picks to remove it. HELP! Any ideas on
getting this out of their feet without damage? Poor husband figures he's got to
remove $300 worth of crushed asphalt, not to mention feeling bad about their
hooves. Thank God they're not wearing shoes. Please post privately as this is
fairly urgent and I'm on the digest. Thanks to anyone with any ideas!
