We do a lot of cutting horses, cutting here is very very popular, and
we use ST. Croix Extra EZ on their feet......but they do cutting
every week just for fun......we have some real nice QH here on
island....none of them are barefoot because they pull double duty as
trail riding horses as well....but they like the way Sally does their
feet.....balanced, and they are not sore for 2 weeks after the trims.
That would happen.....cutting down into live sole makes a horse
gimpy almost every time....
