I'm very glad the article helped. I think there are many people out there
whom will not admit the fear - for some reason horse people feel they have
to be macho - or perhaps its the old "cowboy"  - get back on and ride it out
thinking. Who knows.
Good luck Laurie - keep us up on your progress, as they said it sometimes
takes time.


 discussing the theory that white hoofs are not as
> durable as dark hoofs.

I have a QH gelding right now with four white - and he is a royal pain in
keeping his feet healthy. I pick his feet daily, apply hoof dressing as
needed and now have a thrush and white line problem thats driving me crazy.
He is either in a clean stall or a clean paddock.  He is 100% healthy
otherwise - I've tried the Biotin route - and  thrush medicine -  Iodine,
Clorox and water, Kopertox,  I keep his feet clean and medicate every day.
If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. This horse does not
stand in mud or manure pack.
