Greetings, I live in northern Ky. I've three horses all appies; mare
25, mare 8, and geilding 2. My horses have been barefooded for the
past 6 years.

Now the resaon, I'm looking into barefoot trimming is becuase when I
get my kids trimmed, roughly 4 to 6 months (I keep them shaped up
between the trims) they are sore for about 2 weeks afterwards. My
farrier trims as if he is going to put shoes on them. So they are
flat yet level.

Now my kids have good strong walls, nice and thick. My farrier notes
how hard they are to cut when he trims them. But right now they have
really thick soles and are sheding them off in 1/8th of an inch or
thicker peices. Heck my oldest mare just popped out of the area
between the bars and wall a peice (and I'm not joking) 3/8th of an
inch thick.

So with everything I'm reading on the net (I havn't got the book yet)
something is not right.

Thank-you for your time
Angelina (Babie 25, Taylor 8, Fool 2)
