Do you think this will be okay

Question

My horse lost his shoe today. I walked him around to make sure there was no limping and any signs of lameness. He was fine. I have a horse camp coming up and i already told my trainer i was bringing him. So do u think he will be ok riding with the shoe missing. As of now he only has one show on since he only gets his back feet trimmed

Answer 1

Either get the shoe replaced or pull the other one.  Uneven heights and surfaces can make a horse really lame, really quick.

Answer 2

I think so if everything else is the way it was and is not too noticeable. Just make sure your horse is really okay with it and stands up straight.

Answer 3

I would take off the other shoe

Answer 4

I would also say that the other shoe needs to be removed.

Answer 6

Depends on the surface you will be riding on at camp. A hard surface can really wear down a hoof quickly. Really would be better to have the shoe replaced if at all possible.

Answer 7

u really shouldn't ride him with only 1 shoe. if you aren't going to get it put back on take the other one off. it may hurt him to keep it on

Answer 8

I personally would not ride him unless any other shoes were also pulled.

Answer 9

it will probably be ok when my horse lost a shoe i kept on riding her and she was fine.
