I have a houdini horse who I am sure sits behind his field shelter with a crowbar trying to ease his shoes off everytime he is shod! He is a six year old Irish Draught/Throughbred and has started wearing front shoes for the past 7 months, being shod every 6-7 weeks. Every front set he has results in the front left shoe coming off after 1-2 weeks. My regular farrier is excellent and we've even tried another farrier who was also unsuccessful. What can I do to keep his shoes on? He is currently cold shod. Would hot-shoeing be better? I've heard they use glue on some shoes too? HELP, he's driving me crazy!!!!
