JJ has only been lame twice due to shoe nail placement. The first time was the worse, he abscessed and we needed to cut thru his foot to reach it. He needed to be Epsom salted twice a day and his foot wrapped. The she was removed and the problem resolved itself quickly. It is nice when ppl closer to where one boards their horse will help out poultising and making sure horse is OK. The second time the nail was removed and he was fine..no absess. So far I have been lucky..JJ has been healthy, has great feet and isn't prone to hurt himself. He also gets along with his pasture mates and only once had a major fight with another gelding who had broken thru the fence..his blanket was shreaded which saved his back from bites.

Sounds like you've got things under control! Hope JJ doesn't get hurt again and hope he gets along with the others still!
