More tracks.  So, they're horse-shoe shaped.  What makes you think they
ARE horse tracks?  Do you have corroborating evidence?  Find any bones?

Most of these already have reasonable explanations, see: 'Presumed Overthrusts'

By SEVERAL catastrophes most likely, not 'a catastrophic flood'.  There is 
evidence of a recurring catastrophe that has occured at 26 million year 
intervals.  Not assumed to be a flood, though flooding could certainly be
involved.
