Hello there, my name is Janine and I own 2 fjords.  I have had shoes put
onmy mare in the past for several reasons but when I bought my stallion his
feet were horrible and I needed to trim him every week just to bring the
hoof back to the proper shape. ( Lorens was used and neglected on a PMU farm
in Alberta where his feet were done every 6 months or so.)  His hooves are
almost perfect now but during the reshaping process he had very sensitive
toes so I purchaced a pair of Old Macs only after my ferrier recomended
them.  I have not had one complaint nor have the 3 other horses at my
boarding farm that use them almost daily.  My boy walks out with confidence
now on rough ground and rocks and the size he takes is a 6 even though he is
the drafty type of fjord.  The best bet it to measure for fit using the
guide lines set by the manufacturer and make sure they are snug when you go
out and I ber you'll love them too.

trying to decide if my filly can work with the second largest size, or if
she needs the (gulp) largest size shoe.
