Re: Re:Hoofs! Help!Help!Help!



Sorry about the Red Green joke earlier...seriously, you should have your
farrier show you how you can pull a shoe if necessary the next time you see
him.  If you do, please DO NOT also pull the other shoe. One shoe off is
not going to hurt your horse unless you have a farrier that will take weeks
to get back to you.  We have had some people pull the other shoe when one
is thrown and it only makes MORE work for the farrier and of course, they
don't want to have to pay for a reset for BOTH feet.  If it's only loose
and you're only riding lightly in terrain that won't tend to leap up and
grab a shoe off, you are probably OK.  If it's hanging off and nails are
sticking out, you should pull it.  Good luck!
Maggie (the farrier's wife)
