Sizes for Arabs

["claudia Spears" <claudiaspears@hotmail.com>]

I just came back from the track where some of our Arabs are running. The
ferrier uses a size 6 on one of our guys. Does anyone know a typical
/desired size for a endurance Arab. I like to think that our horses have
excellent feet. Round and sturdy aka "no hoof no horse". Would this be
considered normal, large, small or ?....Thanks. New to endurance in Texas.

I shod a pasture ornament mule with Marathon plastic horseshoes and they
were pretty well worn at 5 weeks. Delta Horseshoe Co sent me some of their
Cupid shoes to try on endurance horses but I haven't found a good prospect
yet. I showed them to Tom Jones but he didn't look too impressed. Maybe I
can talk Carol Crawford into trying them on Piney. They are too big to fit
my horse. Has anyone tried them? The salesman at Delta said they were on the
mule that top tenned at Tevis. They are aluminum coated with plastic. About
saddles, I have a Fallis made Monte Foreman Balanced Ride [It's no battle to
stay astraddle when you're riding a balanced ride saddle] that I have been
abusing for about 25 years now. It fits everything fairly well and I have
never fallen off it. I believe Ed Johnson used one on Bezetal.
