Hi Fran,

The wet may be a factor in his being sore today - with the show removal and then the wet conditions, hooves likely absorbed a lot of moisture and got softer quickly so not a s supportive as they were. Plus, with removal of flaking material there was some loss of the barrier between live sole and ground, along with the shoe removal so a double whammy.

Put him in boots/pads and see how he feels.
