[QUOTE="Just_a_girl, post: 140235, member: 2128"] Hi Mell, Listen to Alan, he knows his stuff. Can't hurt to ask your farrier to do an adjustment. We have our horses shod every 6 to 7 weeks.....just depends. The TB has not stumbled with me.....yet. It is scary when your horse stumbles. My horse stumbled running towards a closed gate while we were doing a drill, he hit a sink spot in the arena. :shock: I lifted his reins slightly to help him get his head up and clued him to the left....he never missed a beat. After we came to stop in a line up, he turned to look back at me and nodded. I think he was proud of himself, to tell you truth so was I. ;-) He's a good horse. We have worked with a lazy horse teaching him to pick his feet up. He would stumble walking through grass. :roll: We placed landscape lumber on the ground, about 3 or 4 feet apart and walked him over them....we did this several times with him.....no problem with picking up the feet anymore. I think I said somewhere that I have never stumbled, that is not true....I have a few times, just been lucky not to go down. Just be careful Mell..... :D [/QUOTE]
