OMG!!
That is about the most sensible thing I can say at the moment.

I trawl the internet every evening, most evenings, for anything to do with natural horse care. I live in Spain and have 9 horses, some barefoot, some not.

The ones that are not are my daughters, and are show jumpers. They are reluctant to go barefoot. The ground here in southern Spain for 9 months of the year is hard and rocky. I tell them, it may take time, they are afraid their horses will suffer.

I have two questions.

1. I have a fantastic farrier, but he is not a specialist barefoot farrier. Is that ok ? he trims my barefoot horses and they are all great, never lame, good feet.

2. I am so into natural horsecare I can’t get enough info. I am due a foal any day now. What can I feed my foal on when he/she needs feeding. Before, when breeding I have fed a specialized foal creep feed. Is unmollassed sugar beet, oats, soya oil and a vitamin and mineral supplement ok, please help xx and what can I feed mare when feeding.

Your site is the best – thank you so much xxx
