Re: [RC] A stronger nudge to the ridecamp community: club footand endurance - Roxanne Ciccone

Beth,
     I have an endurance horse with mild club foot. When we first started competing he was age 6 and we had off and on lameness. I finally found that a good ferrier was the answer. Someone who understands the condition and does not try to make both feet the same. Also more frequent trims to keep the foot balanced. I am happy to say my horse Mattison(Ahminn) is 21 with over 1500 endurance miles and still doing an occasional 50.

Subject: [RC] A stronger nudge to the ridecamp community: club foot and endurance

I posted a message earlier today asking for feedback from riders who compete on club-footed horses regarding their management, conditioning, etc.
 
Apparently there is large need for this kind of information as I've received many private replies from folks with my same question, wanting to know what I've learned.
 
So -- those endurance riders who have conditioned and ridden club-footed horses can sure help out those who have thoughtful questions about their prospects who have mild club foot.  Please tell us about your experience--what you found that worked and what you learned. And many thanks to you in advance.
