Mary, arrant we lucky to have Naaman, a great ferrier. He also observed
that horses close in front (legs) narrow chested will knock a knee out
with the other leg on a turn. So round pen or on the circle it could be
the opposite knee hitting the other leg. As I looked back at Howdie's
stumbling everytime, except when he and I went down, he was on a circle.
He was narrow chested. the time he went down with me I am sure he
stepped on a rock because I had him balanced and we were on a straight
path. I would never let children ride him after the nine year old went
down with him. I do not think carriage horses do this do they? In
other words perhaps these stumblers would do better at being driven?????
