Okay, let’s see…Finally a solution! I have struggled for two years (since I bought Phoenix,now 9 years old) to get something to help his slight hoof problem..He has a low, thin sole on his left front and the heel just won’t grow. My shoer in Oklahoma would put pads on; sometimes that would work but with the continual wet conditions, that wasn’t ideal. I started using another nail-on synthetic shoe with good results, IF they were applied right. Still, Phoenix would get sole pressure or some thing else and would be lame half the time.
I moved to western Colorado, needed a shoer, scared to try just anyone, so went to an endurance ride three hours away, just to try to find a shoer. Parked by one of the best by accident! Christoph sells Equiflex shoes and fixed my horse right up! Phoenix’s hooves look great and he moves like a new horse. The following weekend, we went to the Shamrock Endurance ride, rode 55 miles Friday, placed 2nd at 5:03 and 50 Saturday placing 6th at 5:24. Phoenix ran like the wind, felt great and never took a lame step!
I always knew I had a great horse, if I could just find the right shoe for him. I look forward to the next ride (always) with confidence that he will keep moving out with no more fear of being pulled for lameness.
Thanks Christoph for the Equiflex solution!
