Re: RC: Pigeon Toes??

[DESERTRYDR1@aol.com]

My mare is slightly pigeon toed, and club footed to boot.  She has 13 LD 
completions, including 4 or 5 Top 10s.  Has never taken a lame step at a 
ride, nor hardly anywhere else, except for an abcess a couple times.  She is 
a real going machine.  One advaqntage of pigeon toes is that they throw their 
feet to the outside.  It's not as efficient as a straight legged horse, but 
they hardly ever interfere and hit themselves.  As long as she is sound and 
well conditioned (look through the ridecamp archives, and also "getting 
started" and other info on Endurancenet) she should be able to do LDs.  Good 
luck,  jeri
