ReplyDeleteWow, her feet are rough. Hope shoes help.
ReplyDeleteWe also have a hard time keeping our drafts feet in good shape. We have been using a feed supplement for feet like Horseshoers Secret and that has helped the quality of the hoof wall tremendously. Takes about six months to a year to notice improvement.
