[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1523472, member: 9096"] I've found family lines more important than hoof color... Perhaps there is correlation, but not causation. There may be differences in the keratin protein apart from color. Also, depending on your area, it may be that hard hooves are not desirable if they're too hard to wear naturally while in hard ground you need all the hardness you can get. If there was a real cause-and-effect between color and hardness, you'd think an animal with striped hooves would have hard and soft spots and it would show in the wear (I haven't seen it) [/QUOTE]
