  • Very nice two year old mare.

  • @cowgirl623 Thank you for your comment

  • I dont' like the stacks...I don't like the exaggerated look that it creates. Aside from that if they are not sored I don't really have any huge gripe aside from the fact that they are put on so young. These young horses should be allowed to be properly broke out and comfortable with riding and training before adding any extra devices.

  • @Calicat1994 Thank you for your comment. The TWH Breeding Assoc. (TWEBA) and their events are a great source of how these horses are raised, trained and cared for.

  • @gingercasey1 yes, I have been working with this breed exclusively for nearly 20 years, I know about the events and how they are trained. I have seen yearlings in halter classes with small stacks and I still disagree with putting them on so young. That being said once a horse full grown and broke I don't object to the stacks as long as they are put on correctly, hence no soring or pressure shoeing, even tho I don't think it is pretty or exciting to see them in stacks.

  • You, me, and most trainers know that a properly fitted stack is not harmful to the horse. That said, unfortunately, most horses shod in this way are also SORED by chemicals and have a chain that hits that, oh so tender, pastern area.

  • @jassymackenzie Ive heard horror stories about these horses tripping and because their toes are so long the metal band just tears the front of their hoof off. I see nothing natural about this...

  • Freakin bunch of testosterone-silly rednecks! I feel so so sorry for that poor young horse. I'm more of a master farrier than these assholes.

  • I said the same thing about your videos. LOL!!
