Heh, I see you've got that ratty-ass coat on again! ;o)
I think they're trying to achieve the opposite of that... to extend the stride in the back, even if it means he forges.
But that's what I don't get. Doesn't the toe hit first??? I'm not good at mechanics:)
Becky
LOL,,,I noticed that from the picture too, and wondered if any one else would:)...It's my favorite and always by the door:) I wore it to town again today, (hanging my head in shame:)
Becky
Yeah - he'd walk on them if they were in the front... if he's reaching like you want him to. My shoer did put long tails on Bay in the front when I first got him from Dick, he was too low in the heel and he wanted the heel to grow. But they didn't stick out that much, and he said there was a risk he'd pull them.
Well I think you've showed it can work...I kept waiting for ecurbh to turn into an ax murderer or something:),,,maybe I've watched to much TV:), why do we assume it's always going to be the man that will turns rotten.
Becky
I don't know ;~D
It's funny, when I took him shooting the first day he was here visiting... we laughed about how people wondered if it was safe for me to have him come visit, yet I was the one taking him into the woods with a bunch of guns ;~D
Not unless you got something wrong going on. One point they stressed over and over in this clinic I went to was that you want a heel-first landing on all four feet, but especially on the front.
If you think of it and it's not awkward, the next time your farrier comes, ask him what he would do with a forging horse, with a moderatly long back. I'd like to know how wide spread this thinking is that I've gotten from Teri, and the young farrier down at the ride last summer.
Becky
I will ask him about it, and tell him what the vet said. Remind me if I mention he's coming.
I gotta run ladies. I've hung around here way too late and it's done got dark on me. My hosses are gonna be pissed. Seeya!
I guess I've just never paid attention. Now that I'm thinking about it, that's right, the heel will land first. I had another brain laspe:)
Becky
LOL...I didn't know you all went shooting, I'd have thought you were both nuts:)
Becky
It's one way to establish trust ;~D
Here's us on our first date :~D
We took this picture to scare his dad with... His dad's not a real fan of guns :~D Probably thought his son was runnin' off with a crazy woman.
Jeepers... I really am behind in starting a new thread, huh!
Hey. She's good. Her antibiotics are finished. She misses them, I think:') Want to come down here and go riding with me?
Congratulations:')
Thanks, Cindy.
If it turns out even half as wonderful for us as it did for Hair and ecurbh, I'll consider myself truly blessed. :-D
Oh why didn't they have the internet 20 years ago.
