Last week, most voters correctly determined that Myk is a Belgian/Paint cross.

This week, let’s test your knowledge regarding horse hoof care. Did you know that a specialized professional called a farrier visits the farm to trim our horses’ hooves and apply shoes for the horses that need them? How often do you think the farrier provides equine pedicures?

A. Every 2-3 weeks
B. Every 4-6 weeks
C. Every 6 months

Please join us in welcoming Torda to our healing herd! Torda is a retired polo pony who spent many years at the highest level of U.S. Open polo competition, and more recently has taught new players how to play as well. We’re already smitten with this sweet girl, and look forward to introducing her to everyone in the coming weeks! Many thanks to Harleigh Humphries for sharing this special horse with the program.

Last week’s poll question was a little tricky, because a few of our horses, as draft crosses or warmbloods, have some feathering on their legs. Most voters chose Admiral and Guinness, though.

This week’s poll further tests your knowledge of horse breeds. What type of horse is Myk?
A. Clydesdale/Pinto
B. Belgian Draft/Paint
C. Percheron/Paint
