Re: [IceHorses] Meeting or Exceeding the Standard

[Janice McDonald]

I don't think we should give people a false impression that shoes are
a bad thing.  Sometimes a horse needs shoes depending on feet/terrain.
 I have shoes on my Jaspar just in front right now, ordinarily a sign
locally among walking horse people that the horse is weighted to alter
gait because there's really no reason a horse needs shoes at all in
our sandy terrain.  HOWEVER my Jaspar has some bad feet since a recent
case of thrush and will be wearing shoes on the front only for a
couple more cycles.  Just wanted to clarify no one thinks shoes per se
are a BAD thing, least I dont!
