Poor hoof wall

[RDShoe4U@aol.com]

A suggestion for people that are having problems with there horse not growing 
good hoof wall.Something you may want to try is a a light leather pad this 
works especially well in areas that have alot of moisture.What happens is 
your horse sluffs out or sheds its sole due to the wet conditions.While the 
sole protects the bottom of the foot it also aids in holding the horn layer 
together.So by having the pad on you help your horse to retain sole which 
helps hold the foot together and thus improves the the wall.Wish I could take 
credit for this but its a trick saddle bred people have been using for ages 
to get the long toes and keeping good wall.Hope someone can benefit from this 
information.RD
