Re: [RC] Re:cramping while shoeing - Cynthia Eyler
You're assuming that your horse's leg shaking must
be the same, with the same cause, as mine? Rather a big
assumption.
Yes, several experienced farriers and vets have
told me that it's involuntary and that I shouldn't get angry with him
about it.

Well my horse spun a shoe. I'm holding it up prying it off.
He started to do that shake thingie. I said, "No...Easy." He
stopped. Then started it back up again, I said " Eeaasssssy." He
then started it back up. I then did a growl. He stopped for a few
seconds and then said "screw you buddy and kicked out." I held on and he
sent me airborne for about 15 feet. Came down on my feet and the nail
that was half way out caught my palm and ripped it open about two
inches. Blood flying everywhere. The horse won of course. I
calmly walked back up to him, blood flying and stuck my hand right into his
face so he could snort and sniff at it and said, " Don't do that crap
again, it hurts." I then picked his foot back up and finished
getting the shoe off. He didn't twitch again and I didn't smack or hit
him for the damage. Involuntary my A$$ :)
