We have a 32 yo Buckskin (ex gymkhana/barrel racer) who has very bad bone spurs in her knees. The farrier has a very tough time getting her feet done, especially her fronts. She gets bute the night before and the day of the trim. She cannot lift her leg both because she cannot bend it and because she looses her balance-she has fallen over before. He can tilt her back feet and get them, but she cannot bend her front leg or lift it up for very long. The vet will not tranquilize her to lay her down. Any suggestions????



Other than her bone spurs she is in very good health and they don't have the heart to put her down just because they cannot trim her feet.



I am despirately looking for help-most importantly what has actually worked for others more than just ideas-though those are welcome too!!
