Are your horse's hooves dry and cracked?
Very dry or wet weather can lead to cracks and lost shoes on the trail. Check your horse's hooves regularly and look for loose clinches and hairline cracks. Get rid of unsightly slough around the coronet band. And use Hoof Manicure to enhance hoof pliability and condition from the coronet band down.
Some hints on how to check your horse's hooves.
