[QUOTE="Alan, post: 375290, member: 378"] Sounds like a good chance something is bugging her feet, but I have 2 horses that switch picking up front feet when they are eating grain..... Kind of a happy thing. My suggestions; Have a vet check her [b]or[/b] get some bute and give her the correct amount of bute for weight and see if she does the foot thing in a couple of hours, while she is on bute. If she has a dose of bute and stops picking up her front feet then I would say she has something hurting. If she has a dose of bute and still picks up her feet then it's a habit. OR you can do nothing and just watch her for lamness while your son is riding. A good equine vet will also guess her age pretty close, if she is high teens or 20's could just be old bones... like I get every morning. :D If it was me I would try bute. Good luck, JMO Alan [/QUOTE]
