No doubt you've seen some poorly kept horses, though, as we did. Used to make Dad pretty mad if the owner didn't take the effort to care for their horse's hooves.

for our domesticated horses it does take a couple of weeks to toughen their feet ( bit like wearing shoes all winter then barefoot in summer .. a bit ouchy) however there are a number of endurance riders who regularly compete 100 ks barefoot and their horses do not go lame.
The frog on the horses hoof acts as a pump to circulate blood. With shoes on it restricts this movement and the blood from the knee down does not circulate easily .. barefoot horses, have good circulation and live longer have better coat condition, and move much more freely etc ..
thats just a wee insight
Interesting! I was rather young at the time, (early/mid '60's), so thanks for the info.![]()

Basically if it has a windows OS installed on it its my bag. Currently studying for a CCNA as well.
Fell in love with bikes the first time I saw an advert for a Virago 1300 in an American Playboy magazine when I was about 10. Started saving that day and 26 years later I bought my first bike. What can I say Im easily distracted...
oooooo shiney!
I work in, and have been for quite some time now, the construction industry basically as a project manager. Most of my clients are developers and property investors doing large amounts of residential developments, as well as the odd home owner wanting a new home built. I also know how to swing a hammer ok.
I am contemplating a bit of a career change into the world of business management or property management, or working directly with a developer. I also have a HUGE entreprenuerial streak and use most of my free time (that not spent riding) working on my own business plans and venture opportunities.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
