WOW

I maintain my own horse's hooves barefoot. The difference between the landings of the shod and unshod hooves in these two videos is crazy! Down with shoes!  lol

[myhorsepayday]

i sometimes have to ride my horse on rocks and he has very sensitive and weak feet, so i have to shoe. and you never know, every fariers shoes differently one blacksmith might be better then the other or something :P but its cool to see the horses natural 'shock absorbers' in slow mo :P

[jonniebooboo]

they only do that on pavement, your not supposed to run your horse on pavement anyway.

Woah. I didnt know about that. My pony is happily bare foot however i had to shoe my horse as he is very flat footed and had a crack in his back foot. I wish I could keep them both barefoot though.
