[QUOTE="TCFC, post: 147750, member: 1365"] I agree with the soaking. It made a world of difference for the horses at the barn I work at, as well as my own. They all had shoes on, and dry cracky feet that couldn't hold a shoe to save their lives. We took the shoes off and began a soaking regimen (soaking religiously before rides) as well as keeping the area around the water troughs wet. The change in these horses' feet is unreal. They are all sound and barefoot. Of course the feet shell a little due to natural wear and tear close to triming time, but their feet are tough, supple and don't crack. As far as I know, they don;t get hoof stuff put on. They do get supplements in their feed... whether any of these are hoof specific I couldn't tell ya! I'll have to take a closer look at what they are... (it became habit putting the supplements in... didn't even look...) TCFC [/QUOTE]
