Calico Girl- Spirit of the Red Rock is the offspring of two horses pulled from the Red Rock herd management area by the BLM in 2004. The Good Springs fire left little for the wild horses to eat. Calico and her mom were adopted when she was three days old; now she's five years old. She was a gift to me. Her former owner called her Spirit, but I think Calico suits her better. Our goal is to be an endurance team. XP Rides here we come.

Hoof photos
Here's Calico's hooves. She's scheduled for a trim in a few days, so I thought I'd get some before pictures. You can see the edges chipping away on their own with all the rocky terrain we've been covering. You should see my feet. (Just kidding).
The very first photo is her near hind, then near front, then both hinds, both fronts near side, both fronts off side. Cali has a bad habit of peeing on her back pasterns. I don't know if it's just sheer laziness or she really can't spread her feet out enough. I don't remember having a horse do this before now. I do love the ink spot markings on her coronet bands.
