[RC] HEIDI'S BAREFOOT POST - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: MELANIE SCHALLOCK MLS3003@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Our horses were not bred to be pasture ornaments. And if they had to remain barefoot, that is essentially what they would be. Oh, sure, they could be lightly ridden, or ridden in arena disciplines. But they could not be ridden for long in our mountains and rocks. We think more of our horses than to leave them standing idle or to not allow them to develop their athletic potential. All of our horses grow up barefoot here in the rocks and hills, and most are blessed with exceptional feet. None of them are shod until the work exceeds the wear. When that happens, we shoe them BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT THEM! ********************************* Heidi, Thank you for suggesting I reread your post. I did that, as I was incredulous that I could have misunderstood what you said. Could you point out where I misunderstood?
