This message is from: "Bossmare" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> After I posted my question about the hoof stand I went on the internet at horseshoes.com to see what they had. There was a product called "Hoof-Jack" that looked like an improvement on the usual farrier stand. It even shows a child using it. The base is a flat disk that sits on the floor and then has a conical shape with an adjustable cylinder for height and the top is a cradle/sling to hold the foot. Pictures showed it being used to paint hoofs, bandage hoofs, as well as trim and shoe. For shoeing the cradle was removed. It looked like a very useful thing to have around the barn. I've wrapped too many hooves in my life and I could have used this for that alone. It's supposed to be comfortable for the horse and back friendly to the operator. Hoofjack is made by Equine Innovations and the price is $149.00 www.horseshoes.com/supplies/alphabet/equineinnovations/front/html
I'm still curious if this is the same type as the "It's a Holdup" stand mentioned by Brigid Wasson. ----- Original Message ----- From: "GAIL RUSSELL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 9:30 PM Subject: Re: Hoof trimming stand > This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I looked at the stand.
