It does, but it is hard to tell, with one leg white and the other not, i have learned as workin with horse experts (friends, clinicians, Olympians, judges) that white legs make the horse look lame too, so it my affect the size that u see?

The horse whom she is cleaning seems to be an extremely relaxed horse who she has worked with for a while , as you can see shes pretty confident the horse isnt going to kick her

Number one , her shoulder should be on the horses hindquarter , she also has her face right in front of the horses back leg in the last bit of the clip. As i said before , shes comfortable around this horse but if someone were to take her advice and clean a racehorse like she did , you would get your face kicked off.

if i would try to pick up the back hooves of my horse like THAT, he would try to kick me or lose his balance.

i always sort of pull out his hind leg and support it with my own leg. while doing this i stand next to his butt, facing in the opposite direction of my horse.

We are currently reschooling two retired racehorses (showing them that there is more to life than racing) and they are as good as gold we can pick out there feet without having to worry about them kicking us but some horses arent like that some horses do kick and she needs to talk about the frog. (we dont own the racehorses but we do own two thoroughbreds and 1 foal and my cassie clydesdale)
