We haven't taken either horse out for ages as they seem to be having endless feet problems. Daisy had an abscess, then Owen had one too and they have both had problems with white line disease. We are keeping them off the grass for about 8 hours a day as we believe that too much lush grass makes them more susceptible to feet problems - not laminitis, but caused by the same thing which will eventually cause laminitis.
While Katie was here, Doug took Daisy and they went for a ride with Katie on Owen. It went pretty well although Daisy's boots broke good and proper and Owen had rather sore feet. We are hoping they just need to get out a bit more now and get their feet rehardened for the road.
