Uff… honestly, I really had nightmares about taking away all 4 hoof shoes from Bella. Taking away the 2 hoof shoes on her hind legs has been a disaster in autumn, so that we had to put hoof shoes on again.
But this time it really worked! :) I learned from my mistakes in autumn. I use hoof hardener 3 times a week from the very first day on. I don’t let her walk on hard surfaces at all if possible and she’s not on the pasture every day yet. And I use hoof polish twice a week and pic her hoof put as good as I can.
She walks around as if nothing happened. You don’t see any difference in the indoor, even not in trot or canter. And she walks on hard surfaces really well too. She has got really good hoofes on her front legs, which is most important. The hoofes on her hind legs could be better, they are a bit small and have some little holes on the sole… I hope they will become a bit better in the next weeks.
