Josh is an ex-racehorse who is with is at the moment, for instance. <br />Thin soles are usually a function of dietary problems and can always be improved. <br />Hope that helps, <br />NicNic Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885459438592023135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-9287579865667158032016-03-10T21:34:27.319+00:002016-03-10T21:34:27.319+00:00Hi, Nic!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge here.<br /><br />I have a question about thoroughbreds. I came across this description on an adoption website and wonder if there are breeds who can't be rehabbed to go barefoot? Here's the text:<br /><br />"This guy has no white and is almost black in the winter. He only started 3 times and then retired after a partial fracture to his hind leg in 2010 - prognosis for recovery was excellent. After 2 years of lay-up he seems completely sound and ready for someone to give him a second chance at a career. He is a typical TB with thin soles and will probably need to live in shoes but could make a worthwhile investment."<br /><br />And the link is here: <br />http://www.thoroughbredadoption.com/c3/Scary-Guy-p421.html<br /><br />This is not a horse I'm considering purchasing; I just browse all kinds of blogs.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />KarenKaren B in so californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389303961931974427noreply@blogger.com
