What a great photo.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry about Lyle, but I'm sure those boots help his comfort level and the Bute too.<BR/><BR/>We had some issues with Cody for awhile being sore after trims - he had very thin soles and the previous farrier was simply taking too much off each time. It was very stressful - one time he was sore for over a week. Our new guy is leaving the sole and letting it thicken up. Since we started with him Cody hasn't been sore and it's been 3 trims now.<BR/><BR/>I've also heard some people say using Devil's Claw with MSM can be helpful when transitioning a horse from shoes to barefoot - helps with the tender stage. Not sure if this would work for you, but it's a possible alternative to Bute if you need something else to use.<BR/><BR/>I use it with Salina for general joint issues. <BR/><BR/>I hope Lyle feels better soon. Looking forward to his birthday post.
