    [RC] one shoe on, IMHO - Laura Hayes


    I have to weigh in on this one, as a farrier, I can tell you that trying reshoe a horse that has one foot that has not had a shoe and has worn away, is a PAIN.  The foot with the shoe will not wear, of course, and the one without could be worn quite a bit - it is a real pain in the hiney to get these feet to match.  Pull the shoe if you have the means, and the terrain is decent, use a boot, or don't ride the horse. IMHO.
     
    Sorry Maggie, I had to disagree with you.  BTW, my mare wasn't 100% on Thursday, so we did not make the 500 mile trip to White River - sorry to miss you, I was looking forward to meeting you and Nelson.
