I recently bought a Belgian draft mare, 5 years old for my riding school. She has a super temperament, but is not well handled or schooled yet. She is calm and quiet enough for the kids to ride her and she is already doing some trail rides. But now summer's coming, i need to get a set of shoes on her, but she's not having any of it! She really pannics and performs when you try lifting her feet up - even to pick them out. Short of tranquilizing her to help the farrier out - I'm not sure how to teach her to lift her legs. unlike with the ponies, I can't "show her" - she is just way to big and strong and nearly kicked the farrier right across the stable yard. H E L P !!??
