Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.2362 Padding horses for sand - Truman PrevattSimple experiment. Take a flat pad and push it through the sand. There is some resistance but it will push the sand out of the way. Now do the same thing with a cup. The sand collects in the cup and the it is very hard to move. If a horse's leg were now attached to each, the horse would loose traction from the flat pad but would gain traction from the cup (foot).Truman heidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: I have heard that padding a horse helps them push through the sand, -- “It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are.
