My horse has lost a shoe, he was shod just over a week ago (last tues). Now, in the time that i've had him (over 2 years) he's never lost a shoe before. I recently changed farriers and he lost 2 just before he was due last time, and now lost another Think i'll need to get him to ask him to change the way he's shod.
Anyway..i've arranged to ride tomorrow and my friend has booked the day off so we can go out together so have tried to contact farrier and left text and voicemail explaining urgency. Just wondering what the protocol is. If they lose a shoe so quickly should the farrier replace as a matter of urgency?? And i'm assuming i won't have to pay (even though i can't find the shoe..which is another annoying thing as i don't want a shoe and nail floating around in the field )
So, any views much appreciated..and what's the likelihood of him coming out in the morning (bearing in mind still not heard anythin )
Thanks for reading!
