Solo has been just hanging out for the last 3 years. In 2008, had xrays done on his front feet and he has bone spurts, laterally, on both. Today, we put on Epona shoes ( he has been barefoot and doing well with no riding but still has days where he not quite right). Farrier used glue and the 2 nails on each side of the hoof . We shall see if this helps him be more comfortable and maybe, even get to where we can do just flat work. I did not want to pack him yet, wanted to see how basic Epona shoes goes. And I like to be able to clean out feet and see what is going on. We did not put glue along the back so that if I do decided to pack, we can fill in later.
I love horse riding. I have two horses. From my experience, I can tell you that these shoes will give him more comfort.

OTTBs
This blog is dedicated to Off The Track Thoroughbreds. I will warn those that visit this blog that these are my ramblings, my personal experiences with my OTTBs and my future plans or dreams that involve OTTBs. Nothing here is meant to be a 'solution' or professional advice in regards to the training of these wonderful horses, for I am just an amateur.
