Great answer Mr. Ivers. I know it cost money for a farm call, but we are
counting on our equine friends to carry us many miles. If we don't look out
for our wheels very carefully we will all be limping down the shoulder. Any
vet expense early on will save $$$$$$. If you wait until it looks real bad
the bill doubles it seems.

Don't you wish horses had spares like trucks....

P.S. Does anyone have any feedback on Equi-Pak or Equi-Build?
