About 2 weeks ago, my farrier, we will call him Dan, of 6 years (with about 40 years shoeing experience and his entire life around horses)shod my racking horse. Immediatly after setting the left back hoof down we noticed the horse didnt want to put pressure on it. Dan said he may have nailed the last nail into the quick of the hoof. But after checking the horse out more he said the horse was "off" in that leg, we took him to the vet she said it was windpuffs, but Dan says it is a serious joint problem, the funny this is no one- including Dan ever notice the horse being "off" before- could this be his shoeing?
