Hello in the camp
David your right the stock of RMFT were hard footed critters. I have been
working with
Spanish Barbs. The type of horse used during the fur trade and the ones I've
been working with have some of the best feet I've seen on a horse. Hard as
hell and seem stay in good shape for the most part. So long as they are kept
in a large enough area that they can move around and kept on dry ground.
Their feet stay in good shape. The one horse that had here for year half
never did needed to be trimmed. In fact the one time I did have shoes put on
him the shoer only ran his rasp across the bottom of his hoof a couple of
times to set the shoe and that was all that was needed. Out of the two two
year old marries I have here now only one of them has ever been trimmed and
that was because it was kept in a small muddy corral for one winter and the
hooves did not have a chance to ware down.
With as much as the horses were used back then I bought that trimming was
ever much of a concern. Hooves being wore down to the quick was more of a
concern. But as hard as their hooves are they would go a lot farther then
any of our modern over breed horses of today before this would be a problem,
I have read of raw hide boots being used when the feet became tender.

Kurt,
Where do you live? If you are NE you can meet a lot of Native American
reinactors and Native American Personna Reinactors at the major French and
Indian events like Ft. Frederick, Md., Ft. Ticondaroga, NY and Ft. Niagara,
NY. Or at at Rev War events like Ft. Klock, NY (www.fortklock.com) look
under Photos, Interupted harvest and you will see some of them. I would also
go on line to the Smithsonian Native American Museum and its collection.
There is also a Woodland Conferderacy group that promotes the Native Personna
protrayal. I can't put my hands on the web sight at the moment but if I pull
it up I will pass on the info.
Hope this helps a little,
Y.M.O.S.

For all you Mtn. Geeks it should now be ok to take your computer to a
rendezvous. As the first computer was invented, patented and used in 1839.
No it was not a product of Great great great Bill Gates, but was created by
Charles Babbage ( The Babbage Analytical Engine) later designs where able to
do very complex problem solving. It took more that a century for other
computer technologies to catch up.
A hi tech geek in buckskin I never have seen !!!! WAGH !!!
