Re: [RC] White feet - Barbara McCraryIt is thought that black feet are tougher than white feet, but we've had horses that had both, and I would say that it depends more on the individual horse's hoof quality than just the difference in color. We've had horses with crumbly hooves as well as ones with wonderful quality hooves, some black, some white.

I want to know your opinions of a horse with white feet compared with a horse with black. Does it make a difference? Would you buy a horse with white feet for endurance racing? Is this an old tale or is there truth to the warning. Has anyone had trouble with a horse {lameness} and blamed it on having white instead of black feet? I know alot has to do with the structure of the foot itself but does it differ from black to white? Thanks for your opinions. Pattie Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
