To Nail on Shoes or glue them on, that is the question?
When a horse is very reactive to having shoes nailed on, especially when it is quiet and compliant for all the rest of the tasks involved in shoeing, doesn't that beg the question WHY? And if glueing a shoe on instead is a much gentler process and leaves the horse passive and calm, that becomes a conversation.So come and join us and as always, our conversation snakes its way through this challenging topic.And if you can spare us just a bit less than an hour we'd love to have you along! So pull up a chair or keep your eyes on the road and we hope you enjoy!
