We have a horse who we think has soft tissue issues in her front hooves. It seems to manifest itself when we haul to events where she has to be stalled at least overnight (at home, she only stays stalled during bad weather). We are wondering what others do to help their horses with sensitive feet.

My little mare gets a bit sore as well and can't handle rocks. I need to buy her the boots to wear when stalled and I also use a foot hardener like durasole or something to help with her issue.

Equipak would be my first suggestion. My farrier had a different shoe that had a yellow pad adhered to the shoe. He did not have the size for my horse with thin soles but said they would help. I just really like Equipak.
