After reading about Big Brown and all his hoof problems I wanted to learn more about his shoes. I found this video that I thought I'd share. Very interesting! I've become a fan of leaving horses barefoot over the last few years. Initially for economic reasons and, as time went on, because I believe it's better for a horse's feet. I have to admit, though, that I still believe there are certain situation that require shoes and not all horses are barefoot candidates. What a great option when shoes become a necessity. At least it's a great option for those of us with an extra $550 laying around every 6 weeks. Maybe they'll be able to reduce the amount of time it takes to put them on and make them available for the average horse owner in the future.

You ever just get facinated with something and have to know more?? Here's another one that's just as impressive by the same person. I guess the majority of his business is repairing damaged hooves.
