It was a pleasure to be the first person to ever put shoes on this little filly from Rolling River Ranch. She stood like a pro! A little patience and horsemanship goes a long way on these guys. Looking forward to next time!

Same horse, same time, two different angles. Pour in pads on the fronts and bar shoes on the hinds.

Do you ever wonder why some people have truly happy horses ? Horses that never colic, bang on stall doors, misbehave while with you on the ground and under saddle ? It's not all due to training.
Its because some horses are allowed to be horses. The absolute very best thing you can do for every horse is let them live outside in a herd with constant forage. Let the horse decide with his group when to eat, when to nap under the shelter, when to drink and when to play. Let him learn his place in the herd. Horses do not need humans or our ideas. They need forage, water and oxygen .I hear almost daily from horse owners they they are scared to let their horses outside because they will hurt themselves. So you turn them out 1 hr a day and they go nuts. Meanwhile 23 hours a day their minds are going nuts as you lock them in a stall with "enrichments". Then they act like fools while you are trying to groom and ride. It's not the horse, it's the human routine
Stop feeding your horses at 8 am and 5 pm on the dot everyday. These types of routines create anxiety in horses that leads to stress colic, ulcers, bad behaviors and more. Feed one day at 8 and the next at 820. Mix it up a little and stop making them live on a humans routine that you think is best. Also quit feeding them sweet feeds. They don't need the sugar. Feed them quality alfalfa and a few minerals. That's all they need. Let your horse be a horse , living out not only is mentally healthy but also keeps them in great physical health as well. Humans are too quick to cage everything.. horses, dogs and children for lord's sake. Let these things roam free. For the love of horses, let them be horses. They will literally give you their whole hearts . 🐎Copied/shared.
