[RC] Dallas, Texas Farrier, info needed - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: lilly lillym500@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I looked in the search but could not find what I was looking for. I am wanting to start LD rides and I see some of the places suggest shoes for you horse. plus if this is the case I need to start training with shoes also. Althought I have a wonderful farrier in balancing basic barefoot trim.I have them done every 7 weeks and have been happy with his work as far as the balance. However, there is one area Im not so sure about in his ability or expertise..He keeps telling me he shoes cold.. and not the hot shoes. His idea is as long as the horses shoes stay on then they are fine.. I am not a expert on this area and would like to talk to someone that works with more endurance horses and shoes for this area of work. Common sense tells me that its can't be just that easy as slapping on a pair of iron shoes and ride away. Its not that easy going into a store and buying a pair of shoes for myself.. Or am I'm totally wrong?? Anyone in the Dallas area or east Texas area that has a great farrier that works on their endurance horses? Or any one out there have a opinion of what kind of shoes are better or opinion on the hot shoeing or cold shoeing.. ( may have these terms wrong) also looking for a buddy to ride with for LD training =) e-mail: lillym500@xxxxxxxxx Thanks! ===========================================================There is no better way to see the world than from the back of a horse. ~ Teddy Roosevelt ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
