Ridecamp: [RC] Barefoot horses

I can take a lot but this one was just to much for me to
keep quiet about. I believe there are many persons on this
list that will dispute the assessment made about this horse.

<<<<BTW,..........I'm a non-believer, too.  I don't
believe the horses that you shoe are sound.  I don't
see horses that are shod that have healthy, sound
bodies.  I see shod horses with painful, taut and
tied up muscles and painful looks to their eyes as
well as pain in their mouth area.  Even the current
miracle endurance horse who has 20,000 career miles
that was in Equus this month, Zayante.  His body
posture and muscles structure show, even in pics, a
lot of pain.  Horses like this have heart.  They are
like some human super athletes who work through all
sorts of pain.  Whether it's adrenaline or
whatever............they persist and suceed in their
sport even while wrecking their bodies.

I'm not doubting that you "think" your horses are
sound.  I just don't think you really know what to
look for.  I can't remember seeing a sound, shod horse
since I learned what to look for.

The one thing that my chiro marvels over my horses is
how smooth and supple their muscles are.  He says he
doesn't treat any other horses that have as supple
muscles as mine do.  Then, again, I'm the only owner
with barefoot horses that he treats.>>>>
