Shoeing can be done or not It depends on condition of the hooves, conformation of the critter, where and how much do you drive? These are all factors to be taken in. If your pony has a good conformation and lands level give it a try but wait until he has some hoof growth and don't trim too much just round the edges and balance the hoof. Before you do that paint the soles for a couple of weeks with Venice of Turpentine or a product called Durasole that will tuffin them up Good luck Jerry T _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/dpmem.html `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
