Marilyn, if the trim is right, then I
would suspect a metabolics issue, perhaps related to diet. I have a
flat-footed horse. He can’t handle a lot of green grass or rich
carbohydrates. When I keep his diet very simple with just free-choice
Here is an excellent website that provides
some really good insight on the connection between grass and hoof problems.
I also have set up a “Paddock
Paradise” that keeps my horses moving 24x7. It has been awesome.

books for sale now Wet Hooves
i understand about the wet hooves being ouchy, but it
is even in summer
when it is dry that this horse still can't go on gravel. he is ok on
roads and arenas for sure but i can't take him on rocks or gravel. his
feet haven't much of concavity either. Maybe that is why, he just has
flat feet.
Is there any way to get the sole more concave:?
