Re: [RC] beaten barefoot subject - Barbara MoultonCheck out the KC LaPierre info-equinepodiatry.net especially the brand new Energetics Perfect Hoofwear therapy wrap- 3 years and 7 months from being advised by the local wild horse mentor that I had a chronic cripple pasture pet ( that she would put down)to a sound Wondermustang. I took the 5 day course last year and learned the HPT trim but still wuss out and have my great local DAEP trim her. Tonight KC himself who is holding a workshop this week in Boise came out and met Joy and trimmed her and suggested I work on stretching and flexing her and of course get some more miles under her now that I am all recovered from surgery on my hips. Joy responded quickly to AEP but I had my own physical issues to deal with and each small setback was my own fault from not being able to ride or even handwalk her much- however she did not have any increase of pain in her transition to barefoot on the contrary she had pain being shod- it was so frustrting to have her sore for 5 days to a week after shoes were put on ( just fronts and all 4 we tried it both ways with several different well recommended farriers)then have maybe two good weeks then be footy again until the reset at 6 weeks and the cycle would repeat. We are "shoeless but not clueless" Barbara =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
