This message is from: Bonnie Liermann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Okay - This is what happened with my gelding. Tego has always had a hard time picking up his hind feet nicely. He would leave drag marks all over his paddock. This was curious because he is not lazy at all. He has also struck his front

This message is from: lhedelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, My 7 year old drags his back feet at the trot. He is barefoot, and he will square off his toes after just a short drive down the road. Do others experience this? I'm thinking he's just lazy and doesn't pick up his feet, but I'm wondering if

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HI, we have found with both of our 7 yr old barefoot boys, Bjorn Olav, that riding over ground poles, and small (cross rails) jumps is the answer for lightening up that heavy action, plus: it's loads of fun in the saddle for the rider! Placing the

This message is from: bolinsj [EMAIL PROTECTED] Agree. We do not shoe, but trim to a squared off toe. It seems to help and he picks up his hind feet better when trimmed that way. We don't ride much on road or hard-packed ground, but when we expect to do so, we use Old Macs which work out
