If your horse looks like it’s losing the bottom of its feet, don’t panic! Horses are shedding tons of sole, bar, and frog right now. They do this a couple times a year and it’s totally normal. You may even get a layer of frog shed off on one piece. So keep those ponies on a schedule so their hooves stay trimmed and balanced.

If you think you understand something, you probably haven’t been in it long enough. If you’re feeling pretty good about your ability, you might not have enough guidance from someone masterful.

Learning kind of goes that way- you come in after years or even a lifetime of experience thinking you know. Then you find a teacher, if you’re lucky, who shows you all that you don’t know.

Many plummet into despair here, but hang on. You’ll feel good again, and bad again. After a while you’ll learn to just get comfortable and accept those twists and turns as normal.

If you’re feeling pretty comfortable, or even cocky, hang on - life can humble you. But if you’re feeling uncomfortable, hang on too - you’ll come up, and then back down, and back up. And if you’re dedicated to learning more than looking or feeling good, you’ll be alright.

Isn’t it a strange feeling to see horse people you know NOT in their barn clothes?

Yep!! 😁😁😁😁

It’s not merely “thoroughbred feet”, it’s poor management from a very early age.
