RE: [RC] shoes - Rae Callaway

My horses only get shod when we're going to rides, and then only front shoes
unless we're going to Lone Star or Meanwhile (rocky rides).  Or Montel, but
that one's gone. ::sob::  Scarlet has flat soles so she's ouchy even on
smooth asphalt the first week + after a trim.  Other than that, I haven't
noticed any getting sore just from having their shoes pulled.

Subject: [RC] shoes

Would like to know if anyone pulls thier shoes during time off?  Do your
horses get sore after pulling shoes. I have friends who's horses have gone
severly lame/founder after shoes are pulled or lost . Had one friend who
thought of going barefoot and pulled her shoes and the horse instantly went
lame on both fronts, he stood in his stall in the middle of a pile of
shavings and wouldn't move,  when the farrier put the shoes back on the next
day he was instantly fine. (WIERD)!! The other horse lost a shoe while out
trail riding, had to walk about 1/2 mile down some gravel and foundered on
that foot the next day. Can anyone explain what causes this? Bad shoeing
over a long period of time?  Please keep this friendly. Just very curious?
Kisha
