Most may not know but a lot of race horses are shod the morning of the race.
It played a huge part in the race. I was behind Steve's horse today, poor Gun Runner just faded... |

What a world we live in, when the internet allows Experts to criticize the shoe job of an undefeated $4M earning Derby winner's shoe job. Let's all pray the connections somehow manage to see this post and change their ways, maybe they can start a poll about what kind of bit to run him in next and if they should ask a psychic to analyze the colt and see if he wants a new color of lead rope
I thought he was being complimentary. |

Me too. Ithought it was a compliment as well. It's a beautiful shoe job. I wish I could find someone to do that great of a job. |

| Re read what was posted. No criticism at all. It would be nice to hear who shoes these horses. Being that their feet are the foundation for everything. |

Whoa now, you really need to reread the post, there was not a thing said that was negative, he was praising the farriers work. 
But a psychic would be cool I would love to hear what this colt would say about being a great winner

My bad, shows he did edit it, but I guarantee he did not change his meaning, Komet always stands by what he posts- whether it's popular or not.

Agree wholeheartedly about Komet owning what he says!!!!
What did it say before he changed it, Vanessa, that wasn't positive?? (Just curious)

They are sometimes called a breaking collar. The jocks use them to help them stay out of the mouths of the horses. |

Location: Roping pen | I think the farrier has the hardest job of all on these athletes. I can't imagine the punishment they get from these horses trying to put a shoe on.........
I dread the first few times on more user friendly, young horses.
I bet they could sure teach most people a lot on how to work with these teenagers! |

Gracias.
Thanx for that sir. I wonder why the shoes with turn-downs didn't have toe clips. With that much extra traction I'd think clips would be useful. |
