Sally retrained her, she is barefoot right now, and she is at home
too, shes our only horse that can go barefoot here...she wears old
macs out on the trail on her fronts.
Now, she can be ridden by other people, when we first got her she had
a double twisted wire snaffle, now a comfort myler bit, sally rides
her a lot bareback with a halter, she can 'Ski' with byligia, using
only her body to ask her wher to go and at what speed....but it took
awhile for those 2 to get to that point.
Now that she is barefoot, her tolt is smoother, it was a little rough
when we got her, her angle was very upright from the previous
farrier, so now her hoofs look like a wild horse hoof, and very hard.
She still likes to move out. Sally just rode her the other day at
the Ka'u pasture with the whole herd together for a few
miles.....Bylgia was ahead of the herd.......
