Best Racehorse Ever?????

I was having a discussion with a fellow farrier today about the best racehorse ever. He mentioned Secretariat. Hey, hard to argue with a Triple Crown winner who won by 30 some odd lengths against the best horses in the world at that point in time.

New farrier magazine…

Happy Hoofwear

Well I took the retired city patrol horse to the vet today for Rads. He has nothing wrong within the foot. He even has plenty of sole depth.

His only problem is that his heels collapse and he grows too much toe due to the heels not keeping up. The heels actually start curling under. This…
