Expert Response

This is a difficult one to answer - especially without seeing the horses. Have you worked with a DVM or good farrier? It is a bit tough to follow your question, but sounds like they have some type of hoof issue going on. Where is the pain? are they sensitive to hoof testers and if so, where?
I would really suggest you work with a DVM for assistance on this.
