foalie fleurs feet,

[jen1]

well fluer is an amazing 8 weeks old now,she lives out
as part of a herd and is so chilled and very good to handle,i have noticed over the last 2 weeks that her feet have become quite dry and she has developed a small split,shes growing well and just has her mothers milk to thank for that and good grass,do you think i should feed a very small amount of hoof suppliment
some of the ground is dry and gritty,have you ever come across this,? thanks

Hi,

I always have my foals first trimmed at 8 weeks, not so much a trim as such but it allows the farrier to see if there are any potential problems and advise on anything if required....
