I attempted to go BF with Morgan before but gave up!!
She was very very sore (well she is 19 & has always been shod so has a lot to make up!). But she also got a drop/abcess in a hind almost straight away. I'd never known her have one before or since whilst shod.
So does anyone have any ideas, are they more likely to get them from initially going BF or did I give up too easily because she was sore from the abcess already forming inside the hoof?
She appeared to be suffering from the concussion of the shoes recently (she has arthritis in one of her joints), so I stopped riding her & had the shoes removed. But it kinda means I have nothing to lose in trying BF again!
