Re: Cracked hoof...
I put some kid's suncream on him today. He liked it! Hehe.
I still haven't managed to find out who's he is but maybe they didn't know he will get sunburned? I'm sure they won't mind as his nose was already a bit burned. Water level in his trough was a bit low, but the woman who's garden is next to his field filled it up ![]() I walk the dogs past him regularly and he just comes running to see me its lovely And he always lifts his nose up for a kiss before I go ![]() x

Re: Cracked hoof...
britle hooves can come from a couple of things getting to dry and they need oilling this isn't hard you get hoof oil from a shop and slop it on keeps the moisture in and excess out.
OR they could of become to wet and become brittle again this is what hoof oil can help with. He needs a farrier to come look at his feet trim then and then may he will need shoes on while his hoof wall heels. The hoof is like out nail it grows all the time and needs trimming every 6 to 8 weeks depending on how fast they grow. You could contact the owner of the field and find out who owns him that way to find the owner to the land contact the council. Hope you find his owners so he can have his feet sorted.

Re: Cracked hoof...
Thanks candysmum I will try that.
I hate seeing a headcollar on all the time too, when I helped out at stables one of the horses got his headcollar caught on the fence and cut himself ![]() The day after the horse here was dropped in his field the clip on his headcollar had come undone and when he leaned over the fence to get some grass it got caught. Luckily it happened while I was walking past and I managed, with some force, to get it off, as it had caught behind the bit you pull down (sorry cant remember what its called!). I don't really know why he would need a headcollar on all the time, as he is not hard to catch, just comes up to you and stands still. If he was 'wild' I would understand as it makes them easier to catch. Off to see him now And make sure hiis water is ok.x

Re: Cracked hoof...
tell the owner they need a farrier as sometimes its not painful to start with but eventually can become lame and costly as it will need soon enough if big and deep enough to be held together and then you have the risk of flies and maggots no matter what anyone says i have seen it on the yard and maggots will cause later on damage if crack bad enough.one of mine just had split once and eventually over about a year of trimming it had gone but she did have a knee cartilidge problem through an accident and dragged her foreleg but if left can become serious
