No problems?
Are we to assume that teh hardy maustang doesnt suffer from bruised soles?
Is there nay information that supports that horses in the wild survive tough ground or is it that we just assume they cope because thay have to?
Personally I dont believe wild horses do. There soles are just as easily prone to modern day/domestic horse issues. when we remove our horses shoes for a break we forget they run on grassed paddocks, they are not turned out on rocky ground.
I believe that the average life span of wild horses is 6-7 years? Not sure if that figure leads me to believe they cope?
