Annoying isn't it, mine is always pulling fronts! I've resolved to leaving her in overreach boots at all times when she's out her stable

I just wondered if your farrier was leaving the shoe a little long at the heel, I used to have this problem with a short coupled cob mare who just used to tread on them and pull them off. It wouldn't have happened if she had been a little longer in the back.

Its a front one.
MM - he's a greedy pig and paws and climbs the fence for the longer grass on the other side.....pulling his shoes off in the process!!!!

Who is your farrier? I would consider looking for a different farrier  My mare used to constantly pull her front shoes off, I would be lucky if she could keep her shoes on for more than two days after being shod, I changed my farrier, touch wood since then she has never lost a shoe, and thats been 4 years now!! Apparently my old farrier was using old nail holes to attach the shoes which meant they werent being held on probably and the hoof was getting weak |

What a little monkey lol, how about strong ducktape wrapped round the back of his shoes, just wrap it round his whole hoof a couple of times. Or connect your electric fencing to the nearest pylon lol ;D
