>>> I find it very interesting that covering exactly the same trails, the 4 horses in my barn (all barefoot for the same length of time, all receiving similar (tailored) diets and supplements), show remarkably differences in sensitivity and hoof wear.
Even though I have a long and successful history of keeping my horses barefoot, I'm suspicious of any dogma that insists on a one-size-fits-all answer. I've noticed that, like you, while all of my horses - Icelandic and other breeds - have good feet, they don't all have the same profiles of growth, etc. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
