Draken gets new shoes about every 4-6 weeks, or whenever my Dad, a professional farrier, has time in his schedule. We like Draken to have a some snap when he trots so we actually keep his toe a little long. Usually you put a weighted shoes on a horse to get more 'gait' but in Draken's case that just makes his trot flatter. You have to be careful though or instead of having a horse with a lot of knee movement you end up with a horse tripping over his toes.Thursday, September 16, 2010
