I scheduled a hoof trim for my horses for today at 1:00 pm. I really like the new farrier I started using at our new place. He seems honest with lots of great information and really likes horses.
Turns out only Dancer my MFT needed a trim! Jordon has self trimmed since last NOV. when I had her trimmed last. Farrier said it was all the gravel riding I have been doing. Wow! He showed me her back feet and she is almost down to the sole. He said I need to stay off the gravel or shoe or boot her backs.
I have boots for her fronts that I use when I know I will be riding gravel, but I didn't think I would need them already. Since I don't usually trim in January, cuz I don't usually ride in Dec. Jan, Feb. or March, I never really worried about it. But daauummm, I am blown away. With all the riding I am planning on doing this year, I am have to change my way of thinking.
