Th...Does the Farriers Formula help with the soles. That's the part of Smokey's feet that gets soft this time of year, leading to abscesses if I don't get the pads on in time. I hate having them on, but it's the only thing that has worked to date.<br /><br />I see from FB you find the lost shoe. Probably best to have one less hazard in the paddock.Dave (aka Buckskins Rule)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764864394651709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32796999.post-38716095176500069312010-12-11T07:53:58.013-08:002010-12-11T07:53:58.013-08:00Hey, Edie.

The Coppertox stuff reminds me way too much of the stuff we used to paint on peeler poles to prevent rot--hate the way it smells and it lingers forever on my hands, I swear!<br /><br />I feed him Farrier's Formula and that seems to have helped with the general strength of the hoof wall.<br /><br />Any suggestions for topical solutions? I know there are a ton of "miracle cures" out there, but..<br /><br />Lena also has the most fabulous feet, big and thick-walled. Sadly, I can't figure a way to graft some it onto Bar!Jessica Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205857670509918766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32796999.post-44102244191195148032010-12-11T05:45:35.726-08:002010-12-11T05:45:35.726-08:00What sort of hoof goop do you use on a daily basis...What sort of hoof goop do you use on a daily basis, Jessica? Anything in particular or anything at all? <br /><br />We have this problem spring and fall (mostly spring). Luckily Wolfie is a QH and has pretty good feet, so it's not a regular occurrence. But thrush is always a threat during mud season.Edie Freedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00206820786112415586noreply@blogger.com
