Hi all, I'm prety new on here so I'm sorry if this has already been covered
As can be seen in my barn I have a young Welsh Cob. When I bought him he had four shoes on but kept losing them in the field. With my Farriers approval I took his back shoes off and as he seemed to go ok decided to take his fromt shoes off too.
So far the longest ride we have been on has been about two miles, just walking with a little trotting and I am pround to say his feet have coped brilliantly with the different terrain. No sensitivity foot soreness chips or cracks.
My query is that with english spring summer looming does anyone know of anything that I could use on his feet to keep them in good condition, he sees a farrier regularly and I have had some suggestions but I would value all opinions please?
