Member Posts: 31 Location: Adkins, Texas	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.

Veteran Posts: 286	I have a horse with thin soles and it really helps his feet if I keep his feet dry. He doesn't get turned out in wet weather or grass with dew.

The best bad guy on the internet Posts: 3519 Location: Arizona	Rickens is a good product to harden the sole. But I would add an easy boot for traveling.
