Re: [RC] White feet - Barbara McCrary

It is thought that black feet are tougher than white feet, but we've had
horses that had both, and I would say that it depends more on the individual
horse's hoof quality than just the difference in color.  We've had horses
with crumbly hooves as well as ones with wonderful quality hooves, some
black, some white.

Hi everyone. I want to know your opinions of a horse with white feet
compared with a horse with black. Does it make a difference? Would you buy a
horse with white feet for endurance racing? Is this an old tale or is there
truth to the warning. Has anyone had trouble with a horse {lameness} and
blamed it on having white instead of black feet? I know alot has to do with
the structure of the foot itself but does it differ from black to white?
Thanks for your opinions. Pattie
