[QUOTE="Alan, post: 262124, member: 378"] Peg, I think your thoughts on the subject are pretty sound and you are correct, the mustangs have rock solid and hard feet and great legs. But different from than the TB's they had to be that way or they became coyote meat. So with mustangs it is basic " the strong survive and reproduce. Where as the TB and other "domestic" horses have the care and feed to help their feet. I don't think that the industry breeds weak legs and feet, I feel that domestic horses do not have to have rocks for feet in order to survive, but it doesn't mean they are weak, just not as strong as mustangs. I feel that the break downs with race horse is due to over working horses when they are way to young and have undeveloped bones. Good thoughts and conversation, JMO, Alan [/QUOTE]
