[RC] Bare VS Shod: There must be a compromise - rides2farWhy does one have to be a freak or a nut to consider stuff? ts I dunno, but you're qualified on both accounts Tom! >eg< Just kiddin! Interesting thing though. My farrier who has gone off to Afghanistan has been sending us photos of the people over there on their horses. Pretty interesting. The horses look quite Arab...are fit looking and in decent flesh (but not a pound over). The people look incredibly poor, the carts have wooden wheels and some bridles are made from twisted rags, harness leather looks rotten and dried out, but the horses are shod! I figured as poor as they are they'd be barefoot. Strange angles too. The rear feet look extremely upright. Front may have a longer toe but the rear feet look like a mule. Angie (don't throw things...I've got 2 shod and one barefoot!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
