I'm in the same situation as Rob...in fact, I was offered a horse for 
free...(Ron said no<g>..drats!)  the problem is that the mare has 
foundered in the past, and according to her owner, she must see the 
farrier three or four times a year for work and shoes...I had the same 
thought as Rob about breeding her, but I'm told that would kill her as 
her hooves wouldn't hold up. do you agree with that assessment?
