Thanks shammy thats really good to hear - I thought, from the way that it is put to you when your horse is diagnosed, that the shoes were a necessity regardless of whether they are ridden or buted etc. However, since I posted this the hoof that my mare had lost her shoe from got really sensitive and...

General Question for breeding

I have seen alot on Fescue grass since I had my mare bred and I wonder how serious is this problem, how easy/expensive/effective is it to get grass tested for endophytes?

Can anyone tell me? Many thanks!

My horse when I got her four years ago used to do the exact same as the arab you have described - Lame on different fore hooves but only when ridden and once you gave up work would be bright as a button - turns out four whole years later almost to the day she was suffering intermittent lameness due ...

Well, it did go down ...
