Re: [RC] long toe/low heel - Truman Prevatt

Find a good farrier that knows how to deal with it. Keeping them shod won't help if they are not shod properly. Pulling the shoes won't help if they are not trimed properly.

I've kept shoes on my horses since I've had them (over 2 years), but their previous owners kept them unshod 3 or 4 months (and didn't ride) during the winter. One of the horses has the tendency towards low heel/long toe in front. Should he be kept shod in the winter to discourage wear of the heel? I do ride during the winter, but could use boots on the front then. Just wondering and thinking ahead a few months.
