Tender Soles

Topic: Hoof and Foot lameness
Saturday, April 10, 2010

Do you have any suggestions for horses/ponies that always seem to have sore soles? I don't mean the horse that gets bruises when we have the freeze/thaw mud ruts in spring, but those that are permanently tender.
Can anything be done to permanently toughen up their feet? I don’t jump, don’t ride on the road, have regular farrier care and have incredibly tough hoof walls, but the pony’s soles are very sensitive and bruise easily. I would prefer barefoot, but that does not seem to be an option for her!
