[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 704851, member: 411"] That is good advice. The reason we handled it the way we did was because when we got her, her feet were is such bad condition it was urgent to get them trimmed. We did try the rope techniqe but she lashed out so badly that she almost put me in the hospitol. She was big already when we got her. She ended up on the ground so we just kept her there and gave a quick trim. After that she needed more done quickly so I sedated her mildly and she stood well considering and we got her out of hoof danger. This was actually interesting. While walking her threw our fields when we first got her every time tar weeds touched her legs she stomped and kicked violently. There doesn't appear to be any damage to her legs or hoof wall suggesting a tie up of somekind. Even the vet had no explination other than no handling when she was younger. She stands now for trimming very well. Our problem lied in the first few weeks. We didn't have the time to wait on "training" to get her trimmed. It needed to be done urgently. Then we worked with her to get them "pretty" and normal. Thanks for the comments! Double R oh and by the way the vet is serious! Dead serious! I know when she's joking. She told me i made a mistake the moment she saw her. [/QUOTE]
