I guess some people just see the destruction side of it and it's hard to translate that into a sales message. But the horse is glorious. Maybe if the horse had galloped up to the course and sailed over it in a soaring jump, landed in the sand and leaped out again?

After about 10 seconds I thought: speed, strength and power; be the best. Isn't that what we see when viewing a horse of this type run free?

All I could think of, while watching it was, "Divot, divot, divot ... ."<br /><br />Then, I remembered the scene in "The Black Stallion," in which The Black got loose from Alex's barn and went for a romp on the golf course.

If you mean do we write about barefoot hoofcare as well as shod, then the answer is yes, we certainly do. There are more than 1000 articles on this blog, and 79 back issues of Hoofcare & Lameness, have a read! Many of Dr Bowker's articles were originally published in Fran Jurgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714349624852287450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8346569.post-92186952342456856642011-04-22T08:30:28.751-04:002011-04-22T08:30:28.751-04:00Yessss!
