Has anyone done this to improve frog/digital cushion? I have been trying to improve the above in my horse and with the wet weather and reduced exercise I am failing to get enough stimulation to the frog and digital cushion. He is out in a fairly wet field in the day and in at night, with access to a stable, concrete yard and slightly soggy carpet over mats and limestone area. I?m wondering if putting boots with pads on overnight would provide the extra stimulation he is lacking at the moment, and would give a head start in the spring when I can get him on a track system and out hacking more. I?m worried about his feet ?sweating? inside the boots or them rubbing of on for so long. He uses renegades when out hacking but these don?t work well with pads so have ordered some cavallo treks for use with pads (even if it?s just for walks out rather than stabling). Thoughts? Anyone left boots and pads on 12 hours and seen improvements in Hoof structure? (I am adjusting diet etc but he is notoriously hard to get to eat the good balancer, he leaves most of his feed).
