My co-worker got a horse not long ago. I think she bought it from someone on here because you all were looking for her. She doesn't put shoes on it or give it rabies shots or anything.Giddy up! said:Im right there with ya...I just borrow Pasos! I love my Bubba!
Well legally you cant give your own rabies here in md...must be done by a vet. Your stateing she isnt taking care of the horse?BS Gal said:My co-worker got a horse not long ago.

She's taking care of it. It is well fed, brushed, etc. She says she is having someone come over and administer shots and stuff this fall. I really wonder about putting shoes on horses. Is it necessary? She only rides on trails.Giddy up! said:Well legally you cant give your own rabies here in md...must be done by a vet. Your stateing she isnt taking care of the horse?
Alot of horses are good to go with out shoes...but there are a few with sensitive hooves and need them..sometimes shoes are worn to correct hoof problems..it just depends on the horse. you will know too if he needs shoes! Ever walked across your dirt drive way barefooted and ya know what ya look like when your doing it..well seen a few horses walk that same way on a gravel road..BS Gal said:She's taking care of it.

How much do shoes cost these days. When I had a horse, it was $12/shoe. That was a LONG time ago.Giddy up! said:Alot of horses are good to go with out shoes...but there are a few with sensitive hooves and need them..sometimes shoes are worn to correct hoof problems..it just depends on the horse. you will know too if he needs shoes!

Not sure...also depends on if you need all four or just the front two..most time peeps just do the front two.BS Gal said:How much do shoes cost these days. When I had a horse, it was $12/shoe. That was a LONG time ago.

Many horses are perfectly fine w/o shoes.
i put my .02$ with yours..Cowgirl said:Just my $.02, but I would let a horse go barefoot if at all possible.
If it has a dorsal stripe it's a dunskin.Giddy up! said:Ya had it wrong sista..lol...buckskins grullas..dun...dark tails and mains lighter bodys..but it verys..and they usually have dorsal stripe down the back too.
Ok..you made that sound alot clearer then what I read online..I dont know how you keep up with that gene stuff..but I give ya a high five sista!happyappygirl said:If it has a dorsal stripe it's a dunskin.
Buckskins don't have a stripe.
A buckskin horse is a bay horse with the creme gene that lightens the red body of the bay horse, but doesn't affect black at all. The black legs, mane and tail are the agouti gene putting black on the "points". I know TMI but i LOVE color stuff.

Letting a horse go barefoot is a good thing, unless they really need shoes...
Me thinks maybe you should buddy up to her, maybe she will let you ride her horse, since you cant afford one... just a thought!
One motorcycle tire.BS Gal said:Wow.
