I have a small pony (40") I've been riding him on pavement lately and my neighbor said that I need to get shoes on him because it will make his hooves crack. Is this true? Can I even find shoes this small? BTW, I've been using a cart, I'm not actually riding him. Also, yesterday I was cleaning out his hooves and there is a piece of his hoof kind of peeling off. It is on the inside of his hoof up inside. Is this serious? The pick got caught in it and that is how I found it.
