Shoes and pads and he will be good to go, Lulu is foundered and she has a pair of boots she wears when we go hacking, no grain no grass keep the weight down.

I found a feed without many simple sugars in it for him, and he is in a dry lot now with a high quality hay net to make him pace himself. When it wasn't so cold and boggy, I soaked his hay to get sugar out before feeding. He actually couldn't pick up any of his feet before the management change. Right now he has a very stretched white line, so shoes aren't an option till that regrows. He's feeling himself for sure though, because he's holding his own against his 5 and 8 year old pasture mates! He's about 13 by the way. (From the less soggy summer.)
