lol it's not a slide stop

i love how your vids show how the hofof truly works, spreading a little, like a bovine hoof almost, just without the cleft.

thanks for raising awareness on why horses should always be barefoot. of course, you do have to make sure you get a good farrier who wont cut the wall back too much, or cut back the callous, but its worth searching for! cheers!

would have been a slide is horse had plates on, this is a stop, and quite a nice one. unfortunately the horse that is competing in reining needs plates to help the hind end continue to move during the stop. nice movement, the horse keeps it's front end moving which is great. if you are going to do this at home without sliders, the strain on the hocks, and pasterns, let alone the burn and suspensory conditions you could set your horse up for outweighs the benefits of him being barefoot. (IMO)

@jumanji321 True, but there is no known comparable condition that causes the hoof to be unable to produce enough keratin. Sometimes they appear to be genetic because they persist for a long time. But if you ask any professional barefoot trimmer, they will say that they've never seen a horse that just cannot produce a good sole (given the environment and diet are also corrected).

@skipstjsprat It's called muscular dystrophy. Meaning it's possible to be born with weak muscles.

[skipstjsprat]

@jumanji321 Saying a horse was born with thin soles is like saying you were born with weak muscles. The hoof will adapt to exactly what it needs if it's allowed. The hoof must be trimmed in a way that allows it to grow the way it wants to. In addition, to develop strong feet a horse needs lots of exercise and a good diet. Without all 3 of those things (good trim, environment and diet), hooves will not be strong.

Unfortunately my mare can only be barefoot in the back as she was born with thin soles that never hardened even though she had no shoes until she was about 5.

I'd have my Thoroughbred barefoot, but he has a club foot. He's 17 now. I don't think a club foot can be fixed, can it? He's barefoot in the back, and personally, his hind feet took forever to harden up, but now, they're the most sturdy I've ever seen them. Love the video. Great job.

my reined cow horse is barefooted:)

[LadyLuxish]

Not a slide. Just a stop. Still, yay barefoot.

[pshdaa]

Um 1 that is not a slide stop, 2 that horse is going to burn out it's pasterns, hocks, and ruin it's joints.

[JetalitoSunnyStep]

yeah, really good for the horses hocks and other joints! Not! Btw, this is NOT a sliding stop. The horse just stops.
