Hi all,
Thanks for the replies. Keep 'em coming. So far, I have learned that
I am NOT ALONE with this experience. I do not consider it a problem.
This mare has very good feet, never loses (fingers crossed) shoes, hoof walls
do not seem to flare out--they DO keep the same angle as they grow out---
they just seem to "get larger"......... My farrier says he has several Arabs
that do the same thing. He seems to do a great job of taking care ot it.
BUT, I AM learning a LOT from replies received. THANKS TO ALL!!!
Charlene.
