Farrier was due this morning. He hadn't arrived 15 mins after our appointment so rang him. His sidekick hadn't arrived (young and he is very bad at getting out of bed!). Had a chat with older main farrier about Tobes tendon injury and said maybe leave backs off.
He said leave them all off and he will come next Friday morning.
Am now anxious!!! Tobes doesn't cope well with stones when he looses a shoe AT ALL, and I do like to bring him up to the yard (via a stoney track) most days am and pm.
Have decided maybe hoofboots maybe the way forward. Then I could lead him downonto the tarmac and take boots off and walk him along tarmac on the road to harden his feet off as well as up the yard via another stoney track.
Am thinking Cavallo simple boots look the cheapest and easiest way forward?
