Re: [RC] Hoof Size - Laney Humphrey

You don't say where you are located but where I live, I prefer shorter horses because we have a lot of live oak tree near our trails. It isn't fun to get pushed off your horse by an unseen branch - much less likely to happen on a shorter horse! My horse has small feet and does just fine but I'd focus more on temperament and good general conformation than hoof size. If you like the horse, go for it!

==========================================

Can any of you tell me if a big foot/shoe size translates to a rougher ride? I 
am not into endurance, thus speed is not important to me, but do very long 
distance rides. I'm a tall woman and prefer some height from my mount. I am 
considering the purchase of a 16.2H Frisian/Morgan X. I'm not thrilled about 
the xtra height (normally like to ride something about 15 1/2H)and am concerned 
about the size of foot and weight 1400 lbs.
Do those of you who do non-compitive, distance riding/camping have an opinion 
on this? I just figure nimble little goat feet hug the trail, so would a big 
foot feel like T-Rex?

If you can, please respond to seaweedcowgirl@xxxxxxxxxxx
thanks
