[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1001320, member: 852"] I'd take the one that's not getting better to the vet and get some xrays done on that hoof, just to be on the safe side. There was an interesting article on The Horse recently about hot nails and some serious messes that resulted from that. [url=http://www.thehorse.com/articles/13752/misplaced-nail-on-thoroughbred-mare-case-study?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=lameness&utm_campaign=01-30-2013]http://www.thehorse.com/articles/13752/ ... 01-30-2013[/url] If you aren't a member you'll have to register (free), but it's worth a read - the mare ended up with a severe infection in the coffin bone and subsequent laminitis. FWIW, I rode a barefoot-trimmed horse last summer for the first time (one that was trimmed by a "barefoot trimmer") and was actually pretty impressed. I had him (client horse) about a month and rode over a lot of rough terrain, lava rock, etc and his hooves didn't chip. I'm not completely sold on the barefoot fad but I don't complain about the owners' choices now. :P [/QUOTE]
