[RC] Handling the Horse & Shoes - Kelly

Thank you everyone for all the advice..

I have been working on my mares legs and she is doing
much better. As of last night I was able to brush both
rear legs with a soft face brush. I am able to rub my
hands down both legs also. She still often wants to
pick up her right side leg on occasions, but we are
still working on that. I am able to lift the legs but
I have not started to stretch them out yet. I think if
I work on that almost everyday she will improve in
these areas.

I will also practice these things with family and
friends. The stranger aspect.

I will have to try messing with her gums. This I have
not heard of but need to keep that in mind. Apparently
she has been twitched in the past and has possibly
been given many "bad medicines" by the mouth and is
not fond of having her mouth messed with. We are
working on this item too. Any ideas or advice in this
area?

Good advice on the hooves. I am not sure how "tough"
her hooves are yet and she may require protection. She
has white hooves. Has anyone heard the saying that
white hooves are more brittle? Is this saying true or
false?

Thanks everyone!!
