Hoof

A horses hoof is very important to a horses health. Be careful when picking a horses hoof not to pick or scrape the frog.  You pick things out of the horses sole when picking. Always make sure you run your hand down the horses lag and then grab the hoof and start picking. So the horse will know its time for its shoe to be picked.

My favorite breed

My personal favorite horse breed is the Clydesdale  because they are sweet and gentle they usually come in the bay color, which also is my favorite color, they were bred in Scotland as draft horses to work on farms and pull heavy loads .
