RE: [RC] what shoes really do... - Karen Standefer

If the hoof will grow according to the work the horse does, then why do you
need boots?

Hi everybody...just my two cents ...lol

I have attended a Pete Ramey clinic...where he told us that his wife has
carriage horses and they where barefoot. He said they would grow hoof
acccording to what the work load is... he said when he took them off work
for a rest of a month or more...they would have to be trimmed every week
because there hoofs where growing so fast and the growth would slow down
when they worked less.

So that tells me that a hoof will grow according to what the workload of a
horse is .

Clinton Anderson ....has only the hind hoofs of his reining horses shod ,
because they slide better. All his horse are trimmed by Pete Ramey or
after
his method. Clinton's in house apprentices have received training from
Pete
Ramey on how to trim the horses themselves.

My endurance horses are barefoot and i have a heck of a time to find a
boot
for him. He wears a size 0 EZ boot ...but i hardly put them on because
every
time i do he over reaches with his hind and hits the back of the front
boot.
I haven't figure that on out yet. lol

Diana :-)
