horse with overstep???
is there any exercises which would help with an overstep( where a horses back legs stretch further than where the front legs land) he is constantly pulling his shoes off.
I had a horse that did this on loan, and a barefoot farrier recommended taking all his shoes off, and not to use any protective boots at all so he would keep hurting himself and eventually teach himself to walk properly.
I don’t know if this worked as I had to give him back to the person I loaned him off.
But you might find it food for thought.
