Hi,
Let me state im a lurker and novice :) my 4 yearold
mare, Ginger, a saddlebred/rockymountain horse cross
is a sorrel with flaxen mane and tail and 3 very high
white stockings, As it turns out this week i had my
wonderful wealth of knowledge oldtimey cowboy farrier
trimming her feet,she stays barefoot, and i asked him
about white feet verses black, and he said
white feet are usually better, and often correct,he
prefers to work with white hooves, the hoof olds
moisture better and doesnt split or crack and he sees
more troubles in black hooves ,they tend to dry out
and have problems.

thats what i know :)

THis list is spooky,lately i think about it and the
answer appears on here,so far you have answered my ??
about bits, bras (hehe) ,saddle and saddle pads, achey
knees, barefoot or shoes, headtossing, and now white
feet.. geeze this is great :)

Paula  and Ginger ,soon to be riding in Weimar TX
