Barefoot cruelty

If he makes mooing noises it means he's a cow. It's an easy mistake to make, as cows and horses both have 4 legs and a tail. Horses have metal feet though. Cows moo.

Hmm thanks I dont remember him looking like a cow though and he definatly didnt moo :confused: but no metal feet either. I must have some strange new breed :eek:

He's yellow he must be some sort of animated custard hope that helps.
 
Can I ask if that is what was the UKNHCP forum?? Always good to know informative places to hang out:)

Yep. When the UKNHCP decided they didn't want to run the forum any more, we set up The Phoenix as a place to brainstorm and share info etc :).

Despite a claim by a non member - it's not heavily moderated. There is rarely need to moderate as everyone behaves as an adult on there most of the time ;)

We welcome shod people too ;)

It's a good place to go but dare I say it less Er fun than here !!!!
 
I have had a look and it seems pretty good. It could have a bit more magnesium, but overall iron is not sky high, copper and zinc look reasonnable (they could be a bit higher) and there are some goodies added like brewer yeast and I guess Profeed are the probiotics. If you don't have any specific problem or high inbalance in your grass/roughage I would think it would work out well.

Thank you. I have some magnesium so will add a small amount of that. :)
 
@dafthoss of course you don't have a "proper horse" you daft bu99er. The yellow pony is an improper horse, otherwise known as um a pony!

Coz you is a titch you can ride a kiddies pony, and everyone knows kiddies ponies don't need shoes coz they just potter about on grass verges......

;) ;)

The other possibility is that you have a very large dog

Both very possible I shall check if he is edible tomorrow and failing that see if I can get him to bark or fetch :D

ETA silly me kat I forgot those of us that are vertically challenged cant go faster than walk on our kiddies ponies. (I'm fairly sure he was horse sized today he told me he was a 17hh monster ;))

TallyHo, purely because of the alliteration ;) although with further thought some of these popular tiny dogs these days are smaller than my cat so could easily be mistaken for being one! ;)
 
Mine must be a cow then since it's black and white and doesn't have metal feet. Maybe we should start a forum called cow and cat instead? ;)

How does the cat fit in?

Don't be silly. The Cow & Cat would be for those who ride cows out hunting and use cheetahs instead of hounds. You apparently need to give the cheetah a matchy matchy outfit (ear warmers and belt) and explain to it what prey you are hunting today (as shown in the historical document below) but it all seems good to me. :)

I am sure there are pros and cons and all horses are different so why try and force your own opinions on other owners who have happy horses. From my point of view there is only one question for barefoot fanatics - where do you put the studs?
 
Argh I've lost the page now with the poster who mentioned other forums for barefoot queries?? Can someone pleeeease PM me with the link to it to save me trawling through all this waffle :rolleyes::o:o
 
Ooh Faracat I like your style, thinking big cats lol!

I can't post a link but I believe the forum mentioned was the phoenix barefoot forum, it should come up if you google it :)
 
Oh interesting Oberon what sort of boots are those ,do they have a fitting on the bottom to take the stud.
I was never a great stud user when completing until they where doing the big fast stuff.

I would guess they are Gloves and you simply make a hole and screw the stud in (there is a flat plate that goes on the inside )
