I have to say, our fog is less magical because it is all we know - grey fog followed by grey days. Ugh. Still planning the move to Bear River. <br /><br />Lilly is so adorable in her carrot eating photos! She loves her specials and deserves them too! Funny money and text exchanges about the bet. You and Bill crack me up! More reasons to move there...but I am afraid you would have to quit your job because we would have to be out riding all the time!!!! juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-15022319757690431132013-01-14T21:37:03.516-05:002013-01-14T21:37:03.516-05:00The woods WERE magical in the fog, were they not? ...The woods WERE magical in the fog, were they not? Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts--I rode without gloves today!<br />That's a great shot of Charlie and Christine! <br />We ALWAYS have carrots on hand for rewarding shy/spooked horses being brave, and for when they come to us in the pasture--I'm a believer in treats and, like you said, natural electrolytes.lmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517919157975053481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-89077178885298783122013-01-14T19:24:54.156-05:002013-01-14T19:24:54.156-05:00More beautiful magical trail rides for you and you...More beautiful magical trail rides for you and your brumby. :D<br /><br />No such thing as too many treats, so says Val.<br /><br />Re your question about ring riding - often I have certain exercises in mind to focus on when I mount up, and most every... no make that <i>every</i> time, we end up doing something different.

Usually she is barefoot in the winter and I have to put shoes on her in the summer to ride. She wouldn't make it through a ride without shoes. <br />We are in the middle of a cold snap too. Down into the teens at night and barely breaking 30 during the day. I had to move horses to a different pasture because they couldn't walk on the 6" of frozen mud. I'd rather have cold temps like this then warm and rainy. <br />Your ride looks wonderful. I love seeing your snowy trail rides!!Paint Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095673661149903754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132951832556720515.post-56645063369586926302013-01-14T00:03:05.409-05:002013-01-14T00:03:05.409-05:00Oh the mysteries of hooves!

The flat foot has a more robust frog (I assume b/c it helps with support and it in contact with ground more) and the club has taller heels, like Qtee, and also has a thinner frog. It's interesting. The most is how one hoof shape/frog shape works for one, may not for the other. xoKristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.com
