My 18 year old Standardbred gelding has sensitive front feet and acts very sore when he has to walk on anything rough (like my driveway or the edge of the road). I would really like to leave him barefoot (he hasn't had shoes on for a year) but I don't want him in pain when I ride him. Has anyone had any experience with this type of trim for a horse with really tender feet?
Thanks,
Pam

Mine have all been barefoot for years so I can not comment on sensitive feet. I have been told that they have 1/2 to 3/4" walls because I leave them barefoot and we have very rocky soil.
I was going to suggest Old Mac Hoofboots while he is developing thicker soles and walls. I have heard from many people that they work really well, of all the hoof boots out there.

Be sure to read the posts and article they both contain information about horses with sensitive feet.
