Valley, did you get this horse from the BLM? I thought you had gotten the round a round last time. Had the impression that it was impossible to get one from them.

I love the passion your daughter has with horses. It's a beautiful thing to see.

Remington briddled waiting for a ride, he was feeling bad, he saw the horse taking his place. Shoshan(Lilly) watching Remy being ridden, thinking: What the heck is that.

Mary, We got the mare from a private party. The BLM, is hard to deal with, at least for us. They don't seem On the level. There are giant corrals with hundreds of horses, and they say they don't have any ready for adoption, Maybe the middle of, or end of next month. What does it take to make a horse ready, they have to be check and given their shots. Can our vet give them their shots, No we can't do that. Can we pick one out and wait til she gets her shots, You can pick one out but we won't hold a horse, won't promise it will be here when you come to get it.

The horse has a very happy look. This is evident as she loves your daughter, too.

She's doing: What Farriers call a Mustang Roll, we always did it that way Barefoot. I commented on the bevel and she told me what it's called. The picture below isn't just right, I'll see if I can find a better one.

"Mustang roll" refers to the rounded bevel around the bottom of their hoof wall.) A front foot: -- hoof length is very short (about 3 inches or 7.5 cm.) because the extremely healthy "white line" places the coffin (pedal) bone high inside the hoof capsule. Bottom edge of wall is worn to a rounded bevel (mustang roll).

Wild hooves are quite different from what we are used to seeing around us; spend some time with them to educate your eye.

In trimming the hooves of domestic horses, we are aiming to approach the shape of wild-horse hooves, with two qualifications:

1) hooves that go 10 to 20 miles (15 to 30 km) -- as the wild horses do -- daily on hard ground will look better, and be shorter (higher position of the coffin bone inside the hoof capsule), than hooves that don't go so far, or that work mostly on soft footing;

2) wild hooves living on flat prairie would look different from the wild hooves on Hoof Shape page, that lived on dry, rocky mountainsides.

I had a good farrier at our old place that did a good barefoot trim. We had a rock road into the land we had that helped condition their hooves. Now we have soft sand, have found a decent farrier, but he is not that good on a barefoot trim.
