Hi all,
I’m not a farrier. Would never pretend to be or pretend to know more than one.
I’m in a bind with a horse of mine, he yanked BOTH front shoes, trashed both boots, while I was between farriers (my farrier moved away and took my happiness with her). Couldn’t find anyone to come out, tried to keep his feet together, but he trashed them. We’re talking worn to the sole, nowhere to nail, trashed them.
My new farrier did her best to get shoes on and not cripple him, and one front foot has held the shoe well, one won’t keep the nails in at all because she can’t nail high up without hot nailing (because of bad feet). She put it back on three times before throwing in the towel.

So, I asked her if I bought glue on’s if she would try it. She said yes, but that she doesn’t typically do them and hasn’t had good luck keeping them on.
I bought the shoes and adhesive and caulking gun today, and she is gone for two weeks and said I could just do it myself. Quite literally “well you’re not gonna hurt him if you mess up”. And at this point he needs something since he keeps trashing the boots I buy.

But here’s my dilemma. The glue on’s are aluminum. The other three shoes he has are steel.
I’m worried about the difference in weight and how that might affect his movements.
Any insights? Should I pull the other front and put both glue ons, on? I asked my farrier, but it’s Saturday, and she’s on vacation, and I don’t expect to hear from her anytime soon (which is fine, she’s busy and works hard).
I’m just freaking myself out and would love some input 😅

Context here:
It’s already known that she sucks, big time.
But this especially is eating me alive.
I recently had to file a behavioral incident that should have NEVER occurred in the first place. I work overnights and this particular resident is supposed to turn in his remote half an hour before I get there, and be in bed as I’m walking in the door.
Friday night, my 2nd shift staff told me “oh I just never asked for him remote”… as he’s already supposed to be in bed.
So I have to ask. And we have no rapport (I’m literally 3rd shift, I never see him), so obviously it throws him into behavior. I get a remote chucked at my head, I have to file an IR, the works.
I get a text from my manager that this client’s behavioral specialist is coming at SIX IN THE MORNING because it appears I don’t know how to work with this client.
So I explain to her “hey, not sure if you actually read ANYTHING, but the only reason this behavior happened was because your 2nd shift couldn’t be bothered to ask for his remote because he was too busy playing on his phone”.
Crickets. It’s been four days.
So I drafted another message to send her in the morning stating “I need to hear back from you, I am not comfortable taking the blame for this, your lack of communication and clarity is causing me to lose sleep and leaving me unable to separate work and home life”…..
Let’s see if she can bother to respond.
I also mentioned how this is so far the ONLY issue I have EVER messaged her about. Didn’t bother her when 1st shift was 20+ minutes late daily for almost two months. Didn’t bother her over the fact that 2nd shift never does any cleaning and leaves me piles of dirty dishes and poop stained toilets. Or the blatant ignoring of behavior plans, none of it.
This is genuinely an issue for me and the fact sir can’t bother to respond? The money is good but it ain’t that good. I’ll quit.

Hi all!

I recently sat down and properly analyzed all my geldings diets, and have found we are deficient in most of our essential vitamins (the B's, A, D, biotin, and some minerals).

I looked into a few different options, and Red Cell appears to be the most efficient way to add in everything we're deficient in... caveat, Iron would double what it should be.

What is everyone's experience with feeding Red Cell, and what multi-vitamin do you use if not Red Cell?

TIA
