All of our horses wear the easyboot gloves for riding. We generally get at least two years out of a pair so they are much cheaper than shoes and better for the feet.The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-34245135676823806652013-10-28T23:05:09.433-04:002013-10-28T23:05:09.433-04:00I put a dish of soaked hay pellets in front of him...I put a dish of soaked hay pellets in front of him and, as long as the food holds out, you could do just about anything to him:)The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-68243275259688684252013-10-28T23:03:58.231-04:002013-10-28T23:03:58.231-04:00That is the way they are when living on overly sof...That is the way they are when living on overly soft terrain.

Very interesting, but I know nothing about donkey feet. <br /><br />But, I do know I love learning about these products you can use to support a hoof without shoes. I come from a small town where shoeing horses is the norm if they are in work or sore for any reason. I have been able to keep my horses barefoot, but sometimes had to really limit my riding to avoid shoes. Luckily, not too often, but it's nice to know there are so many more options I can bring up, now that I am near a larger city (and more educated hoof care professionals). But since I have a only a mustang right now I should be good! :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418461551352612607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-91886698225872688172013-10-28T12:11:44.195-04:002013-10-28T12:11:44.195-04:00Very interesting, even though I know nothing about...Very interesting, even though I know nothing about this.

The detail you provide is so clear that I can understand it. I hope that the Superfast material helps stabilize Ramsey's foot so that it can grow out properly. If that does happen, will the arthritic developments clear up? I hope so.<br /><br />Also, I find myself oddly fascinated by the xray of the block of wood. I never would have anticipated that the internal structure of the wood would show up that way!<br />Cathy Rhttp://www.catwithcats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-46678806509806222032013-10-28T09:42:59.477-04:002013-10-28T09:42:59.477-04:00Very interesting .

On the donkey that has the sole farther down than the hoof wall (hope I am saying that right) had he foundered before ? , or is that the way donkeys soles are?Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507537074005136610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-56295620098167234682013-10-28T08:49:31.268-04:002013-10-28T08:49:31.268-04:00Little donkey feet, so cute :)
