| Hard to believe these feet belonged to the same horse. This was done in one trimming. He probably would have needed three more trimmings at two week intervals to bring his feet back in line with his body. |
| That is a good looking foot. No contracted heels. He was losing a whole layer of sole, and this is what his foot looks like now. Good Job! Our friend Sharon Sharp, who owns Volcano Paradise Ranch, does all our trimming. We call her, she comes and helps. Thank you So Much, Sharon! |
| This is a Parker Ranch brand. The P is for Parker Ranch. The 5 means any year ending in 5. In this case, most likely 1985. The 8 is the number of his birth, meaning he was the eighth foal born that year. The sideways H means he was not registered. H means Gallant Bear, his sire. I would have liked to have known who the dam was. |
| One of my famous butt shots. You can see a little bit of what is called the 'poverty line'. On the Henneke Body Score Chart he is probably pretty close to a 4. Gallant, on the scale, weighed 980#. The weight tape had him at 900#. |
| I am sorry to report that Gallant did not make it. That is the nature of horse rescue. Sometimes they are just too far into disease, or systems failure, or just plain old age. We did have him for six wonderful days before he passed. We are very fortunate to have known him, and we are glad that he spent his last days with us. |
