The ponies all got there 6 weekly trim on Thursday. Two came up lame the day after. Asked the farrier and he said he has to cut them a little shorter than normal due to them both having pretty bad cracks - which was true. They don’t want to walk on concrete which is unstable, so they on grass to and from the field. - they live out - there coming up twice a day for food and supplements. But I’ve had numerous people saying I should be box resting them till they are sound. There both quiet happy to be outside. No lameness on grass. Still galloping, bucking and being idiots.
I’ve never box rested for being footsore. There not being worked till they aren’t sore anymore but I don’t think footsoreness warrants box resting, should I be box resting them?
