Dear Keith...
Tuesday, June 21, 2005
Thought I'd try email you first with this question, if you don't receive it, I will try to call to find out...
Does my horse have to be shod (for the clinic)? I don't normally put shoes on her and I ride trails up here in the foothills where I live and she's just fine. I've shown her too without shoes. If it's a liability issue for my horse alone, I will sign a waiver or whatever it takes. If you do require all horses to be shod, then I understand, won't bother me a bit to have her shod but I'd rather not due to the fact that she could develop tender feet after having them on.
Oh, another question while I'm at it... Can I bring two horses to the clinic? I have another mare that I'd like to work with. I doubt that I will bring two horses if I was allowed but I thought I'd ask.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks again,
Tara S |

Answer one: Horses don't have to be shod. That's between you, your vet and your farrier.
Answer two: You can bring two horses - but it is recommended that you bring one and stick with one - otherwise you'll be juggling, trying to keep both horses "with the rest of the class." Also, bring the one that's farther along so that you can concentrate on learning the material. When you get back home, you can teach the other, greener/younger horse.
