And, for safety of mind and Shorty's feet, I buy extra shavings and add them as needed. Most horses have a light dusting of something that resembles shavings; Shorty has a minimum of six inches at all times. The poor horse has huge scars on his elbows and hocks from not having what he needed, and I've promised him he will never have to endure that again. Its well worth the forty bucks a month for 2 extra bags of shavings a week. That's when having a bigger paycheck comes in handy.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748411506311098403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-38181653481407818522009-11-16T13:31:29.958-08:002009-11-16T13:31:29.958-08:00I'm a silent "stalker" of your blog,...I'm a silent "stalker" of your blog, so to speak. I have a friend who is a low-level eventer with a nice warmblood mare, and she keeps her barefoot, as well. I have recently pulled the shoes from my gelding (diagnosed navicular 3 years ago) and am using KC's philosophy with a new AEP farrier, and am using the PHW. I will be switching to the Pro kit in the next couple of weeks. I can let you know my thoughts. I love the PHW, but my gelding gets a lot of miles put on him as a lesson horse, and he keeps coming right through the toe before the 4 weeks is up. On the flip side, he's not sore at all, and his hoof is really coming back nicely. <br /><br />I just wanted to let you know that I'm happy with my decision.lopinon4https://www.blogger.com/profile/00413859466329003832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-66834720024065908672009-11-16T11:10:13.141-08:002009-11-16T11:10:13.141-08:00You guys looked great!

I spent the least amount of time that I ever had, and still had plenty of bags. I guess I'm just getting more efficient ;)<br />LOVE the browband! I bead, I just need to figure out how to make those work and we'll be all set. I'll be sure to stock some 18" and up ;)ponyknithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720573939994221053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-10422373377725484352009-11-15T21:38:25.255-08:002009-11-15T21:38:25.255-08:00New blog reader! :)

If it is the urine that's the problem, you might try soaking in some apple cider vinegar once a week or so. The acidity of the vinegar helps to counteract the urine. And it's cheap!Breannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926688591022319522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-13481171607729773602009-11-15T17:17:48.266-08:002009-11-15T17:17:48.266-08:00I'm so happy for Gogo staying sound on those t...I'm so happy for Gogo staying sound on those tendons! Good luck in your schooling!<br /><br />I have to say, Brego is looking better than ever! You hear that Daun?! He looks FABULOUS! I miss you too, and arguing food with you.<br /><br />Andrea, you are keeping my motivated. I just bought my first pony of my own. After riding for so long, it's surprisingly intimidating to be in charge of every aspect of his care. Your barefoot work with Gogo is keeping me upbeat about the prospect of getting Guinness's shoes off (or at least getting him out of pads AND shoes).Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-67725886256749122052009-11-15T09:25:07.050-08:002009-11-15T09:25:07.050-08:00Argh.

Can't imagine why a super fancy barn would skimp on shavings...confuzzling.<br /><br />Sofie has a Himalayan salt lick, and she LOVES it. She used to barely touch the loose salt that was in her stall, but now the barn owner says she can hear her licking away at that thing on the moniter.<br /><br />Brego is a hunk. I hate breed snobbery.<br /><br />That versatile horse contest sounds right up Gogo's alley.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295839865379604318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-58728740076219812572009-11-15T08:13:34.245-08:002009-11-15T08:13:34.245-08:00Have you tried adding pelleted bedding to Gogo'...Have you tried adding pelleted bedding to Gogo's stall? It really soaks up the pee. I have used it for years and it works really great in combination with shavings. Just put the pellets where she usually pees the most and then fluff the shavings around it. (And no, I don't wet the pellets first -- totally defeats the purpose of them in my opinion...)starrynightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226871957075024560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-10435176840988434752009-11-15T07:12:24.225-08:002009-11-15T07:12:24.225-08:00Those back on track back braces are WONDERFUL.

No paints, no drafts, no mustangs (one of the best hunters I've seen was a badass Kiger, though I'm not very educated in hunters except for what I read in "Practical Horseman" and see at friends' shows lol, and and I know I sure can't even ride over a jump nicely to save my life.)Dressagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849960430806754249noreply@blogger.com
