Ltc4h,
Thank you for your reply.
I agree, a horse shouldn't be sore after shoeing or trimming. That is my gut feeling.
New names for things, is just a way of saying 'this is new and try it'. Some people are always looking for new things assuming the old is no good.
But I think everything has it's place.
Regarding your remark: 'AND FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WHEN YOU BUY MY SUPPLEMENT'.
I couldn't find where Pete Ramey was selling his own supplement. Did you mean one of the links?
and I agree - a very good and highly educated farrier should be able to shoe or trim well.
Many thanks.

Cuttin74,
Good point and it reminds me that good basics count each time.
What did you think of grazing and hay testing?
Many thanks.



I feel fortunate to be able to listen to others that have so much more experience than me
Thanks all!
