A good farrier will be able to fix the problem; and it should not be happening each time that is not a normal thing (even if the horse is kept in stalls their entire life)

Expert Posts: 5293	Thanks for the advice. Yep my farrier is awesome. What I meant was, my horse was at the track last 2 years of his life. Now he is with me on real dirt and hard ground.lol
