They were pads of thick rubber between hoof and
shoe. No one that I know of used boots, but I think that would have
been a good choice, too. As it turned out they really weren't
necessary as the roads and other areas the horses patrolled had already
been cleared and swept clean for vehicles. The only thing I would do differently is to evaluate the situation myself and determine if I really wanted to put my horse through it. It's a hard call since the sheriff's office is over the group and they don't really understand the dangers of certain situations to a horse; that's our job as owners. In the tornado search, we were among the first called out to look for victims. Those who do the calling out sometimes view us as four-legged four-wheelers if you know what I mean. We also had no idea how completely devastating tornado damage can be. If we thought we could pick our way through the patches of debris, we were wrong. We were also lucky:) Susan Una Smith wrote: 20090222165444.GC1308@att.net" type="cite">Una Smith wrote: |
