    [RC] Shock Absorbing Shoes and pregnancy tests - Stephanie Caldwell


    Hi all! I'm fairly new to Ridecamp, and have a
    question that hopefully some of y'all can help me
    with. I have a 7 y/o mix breed mare who I had planned
    to do endurance on, but due to soundness problems
    she's just a pleasure horse. Even riding every other
    day in regular metal shoes she was having front leg
    lameness (swelling in her tendon area and one
    fetlock). She's been wearing rubber shoes for about
    three weeks now and her lameness problems have just
    about gone away, but her shoes are wearing faster than
    I expected. I have her in the shoes that KV Vet supply
    sells. My farrier sells Ground Control shoes, does
    anybody know anything about them? What about the new
    Olivieri alloy shoes? Her pasture is extremely rocky
    and hard packed red clay... After 10 weeks she had
    just about worn her metal shoes through...
    
    BTW, is there any way other than palpation to tell if
    a mare is in foal? My mare was bred by a 19 month old
    stud colt who accidentally got turned out with her.
    She's been really tired the past week or so and not
    been in heat since then... Good sign she's pregnant,
    but I'd like to know for sure!
    
    
    Stephanie
