Barefoothorse also stresses that wild horses are free to move about and usually range from ten or fifteen miles per day. This means they are pumping that gallon per twenty strides several times per day. Much is made of giving the horse room to roam, run, trot, play and interact with other horses.
Thanks for reading this article. This is about all I can keep focused on for now. I will continue researching hooves and hoof maintenance and barefoot horses in continuing parts of "Hoofin - It". Watch for "Hoofin' It - Part 3".
Most professional gambler's use a percentage money management system. These systems are based on extreme discipline and constant monitoring of one's bankroll. Only a predetermined percentage of the every changing bankroll is bet. Learn the game your play, learn the system you play and then learn discipline, then learn discipline, then learn discipline ..yeah it's that important. If you can't learn to control your emotions you will self destruct at the gambling table. If you can't control your impulses and emotion, don't waste your time with gambling. You're embarking on a great challenge. Like anything else worth doing, you must pay your dues. Then and only then can you become one of the few real winners! Enjoy!Prom occasions are always the topic of the season. We usually have at least one prom occasion, party, or night out to look forward to every month.
In "Hoofin It - Part 1" I mentioned that I would do research to find if there is a way to determine if a horse has hooves that can function without shoes. In doing so, I have stumbled on an entire movement by some horse experts dedicated to promoting "barefoot" horses.
The information on this site was encouraging. It didn't help me find a means to find a horse that doesn't need shoes. However, maybe all or most horses can do without shoes if given the chance and proper care.
The next site I visited was, strangely enough, barefoothorse. This site exhorts the wild horse approach. That is, mustangs or wild horses rarely have hoof problems. A reason for this phenomenon is blood circulation to and from the hoof. A steel shoe locks the bottom of the hoof in place, preventing it from flexing in and out. This in-and-out flexing acts to pump blood upward and out of the hoof aiding the heart in circulating blood to the hoof. The article asserted this amounts to about a gallon of blood total for all four hooves in about twenty strides. This seems to be an astounding amount of blood and I cannot confirm or deny it. However, if even half that amount is circulated versus hardly any, I can see how it would affect the health of the hoof. Another benefit of the pumping action is that the blood in the hoof acts as to cushion the shock of hoof strike much the same as the fluid in a shock absorber helps to absorb shock by allowing fluid to flow through a restrictive orifice. The article asserted that a steel shoe cancels out 75% of the hoof's ability to absorb shock.
The first site I found was Australian Equine Barefoot Movement (AEBM). I was surprised to find this topic being discussed on such a scientific manner. This site has several articles arranged as steps to converting a horse from shod with steel shoes to barefoot. The articles are:
One thing I learned is that the people espousing barefoot horses are strikingly similar to the anti-smoking people. That is, they are militant concerning this issue and are convinced that any shod horse is currently unsound and will eventually become crippled if the shoeing is continued.
