I know I shoed just because I was told I needed too. Our stallion has not been without shoes in 10 years. LOL, if he is like me, he's going to enjoy the dirt between his toes:).

It's going to be an experiment. I heard today from Celia of some stuff called "Venice turpentine" that is suppose to make their soles tough. Them I am going to use some kind of hoof dressing on the hoof walls. Their feet tend to get very dry and brittle in the summer.

Their feet tend to get very dry and brittle in the summer.

I have fed them corn oil too... on top of grain, for both coat shine and for dry hoof.

Back to feed, just so you know what I am doing now when considering your pellets, I now feed Orchard Grass hay, and a complete Senior horse pellet, that at times I mix with plain dry COB if he is borderline too fat, because the Senior horse is rich... (14% protein I think). Not feeding very much grain, a small 1 lb coffee can not-quite-full, enough to mix his joint supplement and his Navicular pills in.
