Re: [RC] ~ When horses aren't trimmed .... - Fay Kelleysteelsidedown wrote: I'm not sure what the exact point of this post was.... Usually neglect cases with hoof growth as shown in this article occur in horses kept in stalls or very small lots... What is often discussed on ridecamp are horses in large pastures with varying terrain and unlimited excercise - these horses will self trim quite well. This post had nothing to do with anything else posted here on this list. Nothing implied about anyone. Just an informational post which shocked me that someone who is supposed to know the consequences of not trimming would allow a horse in their care to get to this degree of neglect. Obviously this has nothing to do with any endurance rider. No endurance rider would be that cruel. I hope no one took this personally ... it wasn't meant that way. I found it incredible that anyone would allow a horse to get to this point. I am in AZ and my horse would wear his feet off faster than they would grow with just trail riding. -- Cheers, Fay Every day in Flagstaff is just another day in Paradise! © Fay S.
