This message is from: "Debby Stai" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> First time in my 20yrs. of having horses and in all the moving we've done from a military life, and I had a horse shod Tuesday and saw right away a high nail in it....A young guy but came recommended by a really good farrier that he'd been working with....I'm sure "accidents" happen, but now my horse is LAME....Just happened this Tuesday, had him pull the shoe off and sent him on his way....Was the first time using this guy and his personality is very lacking so I'd already decided after trimming one pony,he wouldn't be the farrier for me....It would be like taking your children to a pediatrician that didn't like kids...ANYWAY! I'm sure it can't be an abcess at this early in the game, right....He was sore Tuesday, started soaking him in epsom salt right away....wrapped with ichthamol....talked to the vet yesterday, put him on antibiotics just to be safe....He's like a pup with a sore front foot....Never had this happen to me so any advice, what I can expect.... thanks....Debby
