21st March
A week of horrendous weather, thought we were gonna blow away in the gales!!
So have done no riding or groundwork, but today marked the beginning of a journey to a truly natural haflinger, and Giddy's shoes have been removed, so I now, after 2 years of thought have a barefoot horse!!
She was really very cuddly whilst farrier was here, and after he left and I took some photos; I may well be anthropomorphising, but maybe she was thanking me for taking the metal off her feet!!!
Walked out nicely in the yard, and had a good old run around when I turned her out
Have been feeding a "food state" type biotin supplement rather than an isolated one and hopefully this will help
I really hope we have a smooth transition, and that this could perhaps be part of the puzzle with this very challenging mare

Just curious, How big is your HaflingerX ? Hands? And do you post any pictures? I've got two mares myself, but a much more easy going discipline.....trail riding.
