Hello,
In response to:
Another good thing to watch for is if your farrier does hot shoeing. Hot
shoeing is when they use an anvil and forge to shape each shoe to the
specific
hoof. If they are just taking a cold shoe and nailing it on I would
jumping or upper level dressage for their
balance to be challenged with half shoes). A good trimming job is as
special as a good shoeing job, and is well worth the fee that a good
farrier should charge.
As for the horse that fell asleep and tipped over, it may or may not
be HYPP, and if it's

We let manes grow last winter and I loved it at the half grown out stage as
it was still standing up and sticking out in all directions. Once the manes
got past that stage, they started falling down and didn't look good at all

I keep Elph barefoot, he has never had shoes on him. I work mostly in sandy
arenas, his pasture is also fairly sandy and somewhat rocky. His feet are
tough and have always been very healthy. I do use a Farrier's Formula on a

Hi there,
Brigid and I have for about a year or better, kept our Fjords bare foot.
And what a difference. 100% for the better. We trail ride a lot on dirt, some
rocky areas, and on the way to the trail area we ride about a mile on
asphalt. No

there are times when horses really do need the protection of being
shod, you should do some research to find a farrier who understands the
Natural Wild Horse trimming and SHOEING method. When shoeing horses with
method Gene Ovnicek developed, the toe of the hoof is shortened, beveled,
and the shoe set

Hi Brigid
Yes, I like the Easyboots. You have to get them to fit really tight. And
the hooves have to be properly trimmed. I do all my own hoofcare, trimming
etc..
In your case I would just wait until you get your horse and do some

I've got some EasyBoots, but rarely use them. The off-the-shelf ones
are sized and shaped for ordinary horse feet, and
am trying to avoid shoeing as much as I can.
But if you ride a lot on hard ground shoeing might be a good idea.
Hi Juliane-
That's what I was afraid of. Guess it's up to the farrier to know the effects
of our local ground conditions. How do you like the Easyboots? Is this a good

Hi Brigid,
Whether or not you use shoes on your fjords depends on the kind of

Once you have your horse shod for a while, the quality of the feet really
deteriorates - that's why I am trying to avoid shoeing as much as I can.
But if you ride a lot on hard ground shoeing might be a good idea.

As for the kind of shoes, let a local farrier put on what works in
your area. My guys need custom-fit shoes (as opposed to keg shoes,
off the shelf), and I like the ones with a groove around thru the
nail holes---gives a little extra traction. IMHO, shoeing is one
