I would like some suggestions on how I can get my gelding to stand for
having his hoofs trimmed. He is *very* shy about being touched period and
especially his hoofs and especially his rear hoofs. I think T. Crockett
had a mustang mare with this problem which he "cured" but I don't remember
if he posted the technique he used. I can touch his legs when he's got
his nose buried in grass but he is field boarded and "wound up" around the
barn. He is coming 4 and I'm just getting started on his training (late -
I know).
Have Fun!
