    It was the lighting.  She was standing in the Alfalfa field.  (Getting her head up was a chore).  In case you anyone hasn't guessed, I believe in the bigger the person, the bigger the horse should be.
     
    She wears a size 6.  Her feet aren't that big for a draft.  But then, they do a build out and shoe in ways that make the feet bigger.

    I did want to say something about that picture of Charles and his Great Wooly Mammoth posing as a horse.  Charles, I kind of figured you might be a big guy (to me anyone over 5' 9" is oversized), but all I could see of you behind that beast was your head.  Were you taking a shower back there, I couldn't tell?  I thought I saw a puddle, or maybe it was just the lighting.  lol.
     
    cya,
    Howard (what size shoe does that horse take?)

    I'm told by some friends in the eventing world that "shockwave therapy" was
    helpful with some problems their horses had.  I gave some thought to trying
    it with Keepers and Jon (my Percheron and Shire).

    Has anyone tried it?  I found two websites suggesting it might help with
    Ringbone.

    PS: To give scale to the picture of Keepers, I'm 6' 1.75" (in the morning
    with my neck stretched as much as possible)
