So... since I have been driving my gelding 3-5 times a week and each outing is about 5-8 miles, I have noticed that he is wearing his hooves quite a bit. So I am wondering if I should worry about it or just go on and not worry. He is not lame or off or anything, but I am concerned that may change if we keep working like we are. There is no real place to drive except the roads so I am not really wanting to put nail on shoes on...too slippery... but he wears about a 00 so that limits what is availible for him a bit. Any suggestions? I live in an area that is like beach sand and in this drought, it is too deep to spend much time in the sand. So on the roads we go, which is fine, so far. I am not super worried about road founder...already discussed this with the vet. It is just the actual wear on his hooves. I am also not wanting something that has too much traction. I worry that it will cause stress on his tendons and ligaments if his natural movement is altered too much. Many of the boots look super bulky for a small animal. What to do....
I am looking at the Easy Boot lines...so many choices there, or Renegades...or hoofwings?
Sooooooo I am poleing the populus to see what everyone else thinks. Suggestions? Comments, concerns?
Thanks, Karen
