Tuffy is stepping on his shoes and pulling them off, they are all twisted when I find them. My shoer did tell me something interesting, when the horses feet are wet, they expand, then when dry they contract. It loosens the nails and the shoes come off fairly easily. It's suddenly happening to me, too and it's been very wet here. Could be the explanation.
I had heard that about the hoof expanding and contracting depending on the moisture around. But since I've had this horse we've gone thru these periods of wet, dry. I don't remember having this much trouble with his feet. But that could be what the problem is. We have had horrible sucking mud all last week...but loosing 2 in the space of 2 weeks since they were just put on seems odd to me.
Good luck with the glue on's, let me know how it works.
