Drin,

Has your friend called a vet?  A lot of times the reluctance to pick up 
hind feet is because of pain - a locking stifle, fused hocks, or a bunch 
of other things that I wouldn't be able to name, as I am not a vet.

It doesn't seem productive to just drug a mare to shoe her, if the 
problem is really pain.  Might help all parties involved to get a vet 
out there, when the farrier is out there, to check it out?
