I suspect every horse attending will probably be barefoot. What I meant to say, is that I have no problem with shoes when they are warranted (protection) no problem at all. I just have a huge problem when they are used to manipulate gaithuge problem. Wanda

The problems with this is that the ungaited domestics are related to the ungaited Icelandics in Iceland, very closely related, maybe only a generation or two apart. They came out of stock from Iceland, sold by Icelanders. I've seen some darned weakly-gaited (virtually ungaited?) imports. And

Our goals in this endeavor are to bring more awareness to the public about gaited horses, and to offer exhibitors and breeders from Saskatchewan, a more central location to show there horses and compete against horses from all over Canada and possibly the US. Also many breeders are

To me, and this is only my opinion, FOSH is better than TWHBEA, because they don't allow stacks or chains or chemicals or action devices, or mechanical means; but they do allow more than what is natural (i.e. 1 shoes, caulks, etc.), so it's still not for me. Why not go natural if you want

Someone on another list, not an icelandic list, was laughing at those of us who have ungaited domestics. Then they need to learn to recognize a non show gait when they see one and understand what naturally gaited means. Wanda
