Here I am ;) <br /><br />Frogs grow like the rest of the hoof- that is from the inside out. If you treat a thrushy frog, you can literally see it happening. (Wish I still had the pix of Sonny's frog growing back in from the abscess he blew in the heel bulbs.) After about a week of washing and packing the holes, I could literally see the tissue generation from the inside. It was really neat. (Oh geeze... can you tell I'm a hoof junkie? LOL)<br /><br />At any rate- hope that helps!

So funny to see them passed out in the hot sand at high noon when you're so sweltering hot you can't leave your air-conditioned house. Or cheerfully standing out in the snow, their coats protecting them so much better than a rug ever could.Natalie Reinerthttp://retiredracehorseblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-39993091067209707442010-12-01T16:13:12.151-05:002010-12-01T16:13:12.151-05:00You absolutely made the right move!

I was reading somewhere about a dressage barn where they intentionally keep their horses stalled to get more "explosive" movement when they ride. I don't understand how they could justify that.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-63458165011227751592010-11-30T21:28:20.481-05:002010-11-30T21:28:20.481-05:00Great post!

The pastured horses have all been by far happy, healthier and saner. There really is a difference. <br /><br />MaryMary @ StaleCheerioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153831521688963020noreply@blogger.com
