Re: [RC] Ice balls on hooves - firedancefarms

Hi Bob,
We, too, got the storm.  If  you watch, the ice balls don't last very long in their hooves.  I learned on an endurance ride where we got caught unawares in 4 inches of snow the morning of the ride, that if you keep up a trot or canter, the snow doesn't ball up.  So, I had a great gallop on my horse Friday in the snow, but she had a lot of trouble when we had to walk.
