Elite Veteran Posts: 953	My farrier was out of town the past 2 weeks and my mare needed done bad so I strayed...what could my friends farrier do wrong if I hovered over him right?? Well the guy ended up cutting off my mare so short she went down a whole shoe size. I am SICK and mad at myself for letting him do that. She's 15.2 and wearing a 00....anyways now she's lame on her front. I packed her with magic cushion but is there anything else I can do for her OR make her feet grow fast???

The Advice Guru Posts: 6419	I would also consult with my vet about giving her banamine for the next few days, as horses who are cut too short can founder if left unattended

Take a Picture Posts: 12841	The first thing I would do is pull the shoes. Keep her in an area with soft ground.

Life Saver Posts: 10477 Location: MT	Is she sore on both fronts? Or just one? Might not hurt to consider the possiblity of a hot nail as well.
