Re: [RC] White feet - Harrytmdh

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

Patti,
I have 4 horses, all with 3 white feet.  One mare,
18 yrs and endurance work
since 7 years of age, and one gelding 13 yrs with 6
years of LD work.  Other
2 are youngsters.  Never a problem with feet at all.
 Live in sandy pine
forest, hard dirt roads and deep sand for training. 
I say never :-) and
pray!  I think heredity has a lot to do with this as
does good exercise and
good hay/feed.
Good Riding

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
