The saga of that flippin haffy's feet continues.
She had to have shoes back on Saturday (fronts only & natural balance - something to do with her eggshell hoof walls), as her feet just couldn't cope with barefoot!
Rhi's ridden her tonight & she's v lame on both front feet with & without anyone on her. Theres no heat and i can't see any swellings anywhere.
I put her back out on the advise of another livery on yard, as she said it might make it worse keeping her on box rest. She also said to try lunging her on Saturday to se if she was better, & then call farrier if not.
What do you think?
I could cry, cos this horse cost more than i'd budgeted for, & i just seem to be constantly forking out money on her feet, & they don't seem to get better. Feels like i've bought a duff nag :( but i love her to bits still :)
