Mounted search and rescue

["Lila Corey" <Caballera@embarqmail.com>]



My horses are barefoot.  Have been for over 7 years now.  They get used a lot, and yes even in mountainous rocky areas.  I take a pair of boots in case - so far have never had to use them.

Subject: [MSAR] Horses hooves

Very interesting discussion about saddles.  But here is a question which will make that discussion seem tame.

 

Shoes, barefoot or boots - that is the question.?

 

I have contacted my e-mail server to increase my capacity, so let 'em rip.

 

As I have told my vet, my desire is simple - to do what is best for my horse.  Unfortunately, the answer is not simple and many intelligent folks who know and love horses will have vastly divergent views.  None - I have found - more than the barefoot vs. shoes question.

 

Ride well and stay in the saddle - whichever saddle you choose.

 

Thanks to all of you for what you do in your communities.

 

Sincerely,

Steve
