RE: [RC] Hooves - Karen StandeferBut, if they were trimmed by humans, then all bets are off. The horses that Gene documented have never had their hooves touched by people. Karen Referenced Post: I dunno about that. I went to a big Arabian farm in Florida to look at their 4 & 5 year old "close-outs". These horses had been raised in huge fields with tons of room to run their whole lives. They all had huge big round feet and they were not closely related. They had been kept trimmed, but their feet were so round I could not imagine them running on the track (which they'd been bred to do) with them that large. I asked the trainer about it and he said being raised on sand did that. Angie -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
