Re: RC: Re: Cow-hocked endurance prospects???

[RDShoe4U@aol.com]

Alot of Arabs that I run across have been cow hocked.Unless this is causing a 
problem you should just leave then alone.I work in a area that we concentrate 
heavily on making horses look straight.I will tell you this there is no way 
of trimming a horse to make it not cow hocked when it is cow hocked.You can 
do different things to give the illusion that its not but you are not 
actually fixing the problem.If a horse is hitting his hocks you can sometimes 
toe them in a little to help but especially after a horse is of riding age 
you don't want to be doing alot of limb twisting.Just my thoughts.RD
