a question. Cherish has neglected feet. I have her on BOSS and got her shod Friday. She is doing fine. A friend with grey Arabians and an App suggested Kevlar hoof sealant....I can get it but have always been told (race horses) to grease the feet...any input from my friends here? I want her to stay sound and grow those feet out.

Thanks.

Connie the answer is...

Patience, BOSS and patience.

B came yesterday and I got a short ride on both Prize and Chica.

I was ecstatic by how well both did.

Then it rained and more rain to come all week.

I hope everyone has a well one.

I wish we would have a few cool rainy days here... But this is California. We won't see that for another three months. Five, if we get an Indian Summer...

We have used Kevlar and would do so again.

what condition did you use it for, Face? I want the best for her and her health was pretty neglected before she came to me.

Connie, sorry, I was confused. We were using Keratex to help prevent bruising on the sole. They both start with a "K"! hahahah.

Thank you for the additional information..I was concerned about putting a permanent polish on the hoof wall preventing it from breathing...I know my fingernails don't do well or stay healthy if I use polish...the tip about the sole is good , however. Thank you.
