Jackie understands my frustration. Let's just say I'm a rotten horse owner who at this point wonders if she should own one. 
The farrier came out today. We tried a new farrier since the old one did a horrible job last time. All the horses' hooves were splitting and they were way back on their heels from the last trim.
I talked a bit with the farrier after he trimmed Toby's feet, asking him about supplements, etc., things I could do to keep his hooves strong.
He said he could see in the hooves that the horse has been getting better nutrition. I was like, "oh? How long would you say this has been going on?"
"About six months or so."
I've owned him for seven months.
I was wondering if the hoof supplement has been helping or if I've just been throwing my money away, but I guess it has been helping.
It might be the only thing I'm doing right.
