    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Good horse. Well-trained for cattle work. Loping like that on concrete is rough on the feet - I hope this was a one-of.

                  MS and I were talking about this -- why are horses shoed if wild horses don't need shoes for any sort of terrain?

                    @Ivorythumper good question.

                    The difference between wild horses and domesticated ones is that wild horses don't "work" nearly as much as wild horses.

                    A wild horse wants to do nothing more than stand still and eat grass, or whatever. He'll only move if he has to. Domesticated horses, particularly "working horses" experience all kinds of terrain that is unnatural to their hooves (like pavement), and it could be for prolonged periods of time - like police horses.

                    We rode Simon about 3 times a week, and it was almost always on soft terrain (sand, or shredded tire (!)). His hooves experienced almost zero stress and he was unshod. Nevertheless, because of the lack of stress, his hooves still needed to be trimmed about every 6 weeks.

                    Here's a reasonable explanation:

                      Thanks, George. I guess before shoes riders just ate their horses when they went lame?

                        Probably, LOL. We had a thread about pferdefleisch here a while ago.
