In January I took Minnow back to New Bolton Center<\/a> to have his diagnosis of Ringbone reassessed after being treated 5 years earlier. Without too much hope we were left to experiment with different types of shoeing in the hopes of maybe making Minnow a little bit more comfortable in the coming years.<\/p>\n

I decided to test out the Ground Control Shoes with Minnow first, to see if they might take away some of his pain. Some of the key points I had read about the Ground Control Shoes are:<\/p>\n

Outlasts metal 2:1 guaranteed!<\/li>\n

Unsurpassed shock absorption.<\/li>\n

Better than barefoot flexible fit!<\/li>\n

Keeps performance horses sounder longer!<\/li>\n

Provides relief from arthritis pain, navicular, founder and ringbone.<\/strong><\/li>\n

Safer on roads and rocks!<\/li>\n

Shapes and wears to fit your horse\u2019s needs!<\/li>\n

NO special tools or nails required!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Feeling hopeful I made sure to take videos of Minnow prior to having the shoes put on and then again 2 weeks after wearing them.<\/p>\n
