ESPECIALLY IN MOIST/WET CLIMATES!!!!!

During the winter/or rainy months, help out your horse, and your farrier, by making sure to pick out thoroughly your horses' feet. Picking up every one of the feet in a systematic order on a daily regular basis (this should be done a minimum of 2X daily). Add to this routine, your entry & exit from Riding (making it necessary in the Winter/Rainy months to pick out the feet at least 4X daily!

Prevention is worth it's weight in gold, and an ounce of prevention is worth millions in Vet/Farrier bills!
