I know some of the horse blog owners are really knowledgeable about hooves and trimming and might be able to help you. Also maybe check out the Barefoot Horse Blog http://www.barefoothorseblog.blogspot.com/ if you haven't been there before.Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855187223809114916.post-82306846412099422002011-04-03T07:55:02.693-07:002011-04-03T07:55:02.693-07:00I agree with Meghan.

I believe that your mare is the hollering-type. I would be careful about "not letting her get away with something". If the something she is trying to communicate to you is discomfort and you push her to work, then you damage her trust in you. She may also escalate her communication strategy to try to get your attention. Sound familiar?Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855187223809114916.post-12186785241088907522011-04-02T08:12:51.059-07:002011-04-02T08:12:51.059-07:00Sounds like a foot issue to me.

I would look into how her feet are being trimmed/shod and investigate other options. Obviously something is not quite right, and soreness never helps with attitude.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295839865379604318noreply@blogger.com
