This message is from: "lhedelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to everyone with advice on my heavy footed guy. I have the farrier coming next week, so I think I'll call him and have him order the rolled toe shoes for him. Also, I think some cavaletti (sp?) work wouldn't hurt him at all. Good sugg

This message is from: "lhedelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, My 7 year old drags his back feet at the trot. He is barefoot, and he will square off his toes after just a short drive down the road. Do others experience this? I'm thinking he's just lazy and doesn't pick up his feet, but I'm wondering
