We even cantered some in the field. She bucked a little at first, but we
went both directions and

Thanks everyone for the responses. It's been almost a week and Izzy has
been frolicking around the field with no signs of tenderness at all.
Granted, we've had rain and the fields are soft.
I'm going to ride with some friends later this morning and we'

I would encourage folks not to get too worried about
chipping up. My horses are trimmed every five weeks.
If they go over that, they are clearly getting long
(at least most times of the year) and start chipping

I had my four year old's shoes pulled this week (she was only shod on the
front). We're going to try it for the winter, in case it snows, I really
want to ride in the snow without worrying about iceballs in her feet. But
