There is not much info out there, and I have had a really hard time becoming adequate in this area. I kind of go by a few points and overall impression. I am often right, but sometimes grossly wrong. I know it changes with potential use, but just an overview would be great.

My shaggy 'ole boys look so dumpy in their winter coats, can't wait to get them shed out and shiny again. To answer your question, Buddy is doing really well in his new custom shoes. He is comfortable on the hard uneven ground and is moving well, well as well as he does at his advanced age. Can't wait to start working him again. It will be very light work until we see how he is going to be, but hopefully he will be good for trail riding, he loves that.

But from other things I have heard, I'm not sure she was the right person to be helping with him anyway.<BR/><BR/>dressagemom, I love it too. This horse has changed a lot of people's ideas about what Arabians are capable of from QHs to warmbloods, that's pretty good for one horse. lol <BR/><BR/>katee, well according to the trainer she wasns't interested in the big picture. Funny how that changed from when she was here to just a few weeks later. Maybe she thought she had them over a barrel.

This is changing in the dressage world though. Our little horses with lots of smarts and big hearts are winning people over and changing old prejudices.
