“I am very proud to be a part of Her Majesty’s horse training and her passion for their welfare. I believe she is the leading monarch for the advocacy of horses in the world. She is a thought leader in this field. Her Majesty's horses are trained using the Dually Halter, making a difference in the training of sensitive animals by giving the horse the choice to partner in the training.” ~ Monty
“I communicate with a horse in what I call the Language of Equus; a silent language of gestures that is discernible, predictable and effective. Now you can learn from my videos, audio and notes to help you understand the horse as I do. This language is really quite simple, but simplicity becomes its greatest strength.” ~ Monty

Join-Up methods help horse and trainer to establish a bond of communication and trust. “You must somehow understand that we as horsemen can do very little to teach the horse. What we can do is to create an environment in which he can learn.” ~ Monty
Monty says, “We hear that ‘actions speak louder than words,’ but generally we do not live by it too successfully.” Now Monty has taught thousands of people worldwide how to build trust in animals through our actions and body language.
Monty’s principles really amount to common sense and immense patience. He believes that children and horses have the same behavioral patterns. They are both naturally “flight” animals. "If you frighten them and resort to confrontation, you’ll lose their trust." ~ Monty
"Simple one-on-one reassurances and praise reap long term dividends that can all be undone with the quick slamming of a book on a desk or shouting back." ~ Monty Roberts
"No one of us was born with the right to say 'You must or I'll hurt you' to any other living thing, animal or human". ~ Monty Roberts
"My life's goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people too". ~ Monty Roberts

My stablemate had this problem for years with her horse until she got hold of a woman who treated the coronet with IR a couple of times and in between the area was massaged and applied with a vet. cream the name of which I am very uncertain. (French sounding that would twist your tongue and came in a red can. Not Cosequin but similar. - I can look it up if you are interested.)
Anyway, over the course of a winter the cracks stopped forming and hasn't appeared again.

Look up "kicking rings" in Monty's From My Hands to Yours book! They are a ring your horse can wear with the dual purpose of discouraging kicking and also massaging the coronet and promoting healthy hooves! :-)

I use Kevin bacon hoof greese on my boy who has dry brittle feet. That has helped him (his was down to neglect and very poor diet though). What does your farrier suggest?

Amber Temple 2011-Mar-10 at 06:30PM

Maybe look at her nutrition, health comes from within and could be affecting her feet

I agree with Amber.
Best Results are Achieved With Reliable Supplement Made for Your Local Area. My area is Deficient in Selenium.

You can also make a Big Difference by adding Biotin it the diet. What you will notice most is the Hoof Grows out faster and Stronger then before.

One more thing that causes many Problems is Stress. Stress is come in many forms. You have to be a Detective to find out what is stressing your horse.
