Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

My 1st horse had been on the big lick circuit, and was just down off pads when I bought him. I kept him barefoot on the back, toe weights up front; just enough for a little lift to clear the rear hooves...he had a pronounced overstride. No chains, no rollers, no nothing except the toe weighted shoes, but he'd put on a show if I asked him to, which I occasionally did, because I knew he'd turn heads.
Unfortunately, I only had him 18 months. He took on a Chevette on a stormy night on Rte. 57, in southern IL; he lost.
Have a good friend who lost one to a school bus. Always a bad thing when they decide to take on a vehicle!
 
Giraffes give you a big lick - just sayin...

That's sad... :(
