** Hi Diana- One of the horses I worked with, Tinn, had perpetually tender feet, very similar to your Donnie. He went fine in Old Macs. After trying various different trim techniques, we finally discovered the cure: exercise. Tinn now has a person who rides him daily in the arena and on the trail, whereas before he was ridden only sporadically. I guess like with us, exercise makes the whole body stronger. / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA www.Brigid.Clickryder.com
