My mare is 16 yrs old and has developed lamitis. I have had her shod with the round rubber shoes and she is given Frank Lampfrey's formula for lamitis 3 times a day. Now my vet tells me to take off her shoes and let her go barefoot. He also suggests she should be exercised more, even tho she is quite sore on that right front foot. Has anyone had experience with lamitis and what did you do to combat this? I keep her trimmed as suggested. Thank you for any recommendations. Smoky Joe
