I love it. Always great to have more than one opinion on a horse.

Ground work. Nothing can create a better bond then playing with a horse on the ground. I do the Seven Games with all my horses.

It's ok. Just make sure the horse has plenty of room and on a long rope.

I wear Shamshield, but my favorite are Charles Owens.

Your horse most likely has soft hoves that need to harden. You can either slowly start building up to long walks on rock or buy hoof boots.

I agree with @sofia.roitman consult a veterinarian.

Ground work in an arena. Have her stop when you stop. Back up when you ask. Move her shoulders and haunches when you ask. Make her move her feet so she knows that you call the shots.

Shavings! Easy to clean and absorbes all moisture.

Very nice and does the job!
