The stud I went to in Africa they started their first horse off barefoot in boots and it worked wonders.<br /><br />I did use pads with my Warmblood but the problem there is they don't grip very well. Only used on particularly stoney ground. <br /><br />Keratex has worked for other people so hope it does for you. <br /><br />With this climate it is hard to do barefoot due to the feet being practically constantly damp so they soften. <br /><br />But do consider hoof boots. I am looking into getting a pair for Chador.

It is the cheapest and easiest way to improve foot condition. If you don't want to feed him hard feed sometimes a good trick to get them to eat something less palatable is to hide it in a sandwhich, i know! cheap white bread works well, 1 slice, fold the gelatine/bute/wormer etc into the middle and feed it like a carrot. This works wonders with a few horses i know <br /><br />If you need to harden feet apply white spirit to the soles to toughen then up (by dehydration)watch that you don't over do it<br /><br />other than that you could try pads under the shoe to help with the thin soles, and also it eases concussion (maybe ideal for long distance riding?)gift horse eventinghttp://www.gifthorseeventing.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
