I just asked him that very day to do something different with my horse, as she has been off for a long time and nothing else has worked so far. This fixed it, at least for now.

If she was outside where her feet got damp that might have caused the problem. I invested in my own gun and always keep a tube of Equithane and some foam boards so I can re-apply if I need to. If a horse needs it in there I'm no going to let him be without it ;-)
