Re: [RC] Bare VS Shod: There must be a compromise - Jody Rogers-ButtramOk, not to get blasted here. And I am NOT going to sing the praises of barefoot vs. shoes either. I have my belief and you guys have yours, I do believe that there can be a marrying of the two in some cases. But, with that said, being mostly unfamiliar with the barefoot trim technique, how do you handle a wall separation problem? I have a 2 1/2 year old that on one back hoof has just that. In order to give her support and make her comfortable (she was very lame when we got back from the NC) I put a shoe on it, patched and she walked off nearly completely sound. And yes, it was just one shoe. I haven't had time to get the others on, maybe today. But in her case, there was a chunk missing. Perhaps the barefoot trim would have prevented it better then a "regular" trim. I reaching here folks, and trying to expand my brain and think outside the "shoeing box". See, all farriers are are not the
evil people that abuse horses with shoes. But, in her case, she had a lame hoof...and the shoe did help her. Lucinda Carpe <kharakterc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
