Got my pony some sneakers!!!

So last monday, I decided I was going to take off America's shoes. He doesn't need them. He's got good feet, we don't show, we don't do anything strenuous that requires him to have shoes. Overall, I just feel like he would have better feet without shoes. Not a huge fan of shoes anyways. I understand for some horses it might be a necessary evil, just not a fan. I feel like they are constrictive and not conducive to naturally strong feet. Not to mention, the thought of the nails going through them.....::shiver:: ehhhhhhh.

ANYWHO! I bought these. They should be in today!!!

PONY SNEAKERS!!!! He has gradually gotten better. He was pretty sore on day 2 and since then, has a little at a time gotten less sore and less sore. I sent pictures of his feet to a very good friend of mine and she says he's been so sore because he is so short. Makes sense. The farrier shortened his feet a lot in August. But barefoot he needs more foot, especially on the outside. He hasn't had a lot of heat, just tenderness on the sole because right now he's basically walking right on them. :( Not a happy camper. I hate seeing him in pain. It kills me. So these are to help him with the transition and for us when we go on trail rides and stuff. I'm uber excited.
