My 3 year old American Quarter Horse thinks the ball I got for him is the greatest thing in the world. He'll spend hours upon hours playing with it and gets tickled to death when someone throws it for him. Sometimes he'll act like a dog and bring it back to you. Sorry about the sound quality, it was windy.

I hear this often , ... By: GoodRedBlackRatio. on 14 Mar 12, 02:00:06 I hear this often , "a horse needs shoes so that it's feet don't wear off faster than they grow". This? is nonsense, and I think it stems from a big problem within the horse community, which is that many people don't know what a healthy hoof actually looks like. Years of seeing 'pasture trimmed' horses and shod horses has taught many horse lovers the wrong shape of a hoof so that when a hoof does wear down, they panic. People often ask why my horse's feet are "so small". Because they're healthy.

My boy is Barefoot ... By: engrose. on 31 Oct 11, 18:48:27 My boy is Barefoot he came over from spain with front shoes on & they were whipped straight off. He was foot sore? for about 2 months & now is pretty good apart from on sharp stones. His diet helps with his hoof care as well. A well balanced diet is just as important for the maintanice of a good strong hoof. If the hooves are strong you can do 50 mile rides with a barefoot horse. NO HORSE NEEDS TO BE SHOD! 60% diet, the rest is care of the horse and trim! Right balanced Diet, trim = STRONG HOOVES

most "domestic ... By: jett888. on 09 Sep 11, 19:04:30 most "domestic horses" generally don't do the daily mileage as that of the wild horse- so usually the problem of wearing out the foot isn't a problem- MOST domestic horses have no need for shoes but rather more mileage, less rich foot, and allowed freedom of movement.? It's the domestication and the lack of knowledge from many horse owners for which the domestic horse (and his feet) suffers. Shoeing only exasperates things.
I? love your book ... By: jett888. on 09 Sep 11, 19:00:15 I? love your book by the way- so fun to hear about how you began your, rather late in life, relationship w/ the horse- love how you encompass and engage in total horse care! Good for you, good for your horses! yeyy!

If a horse is ... By: patslark. on 20 Jun 11, 18:56:18 If a horse is trimmed incorrectly it can wear wall faster than it can grow. Conversly, if trimmed correctly, that is not the case. Domestic horses generally have to be shod? because they the hooves are not properly trimmed. JMO.
