Well... I also placed an order with Abler on Monday just before midnight, so essentially it was Tuesday. I just logged and found the tracking number indicating that it was shipped from Vanuatu this...

What about going to the vet school?

He is only four? Good for you!!! <applause>

As long as we're clarifying who said what, who said that?:confused:

Well I DO need proof to buy into the rhetoric being slung around here that riding a 2-year-old is bad. That's just a bunch of unsubstantiated bullshit

Shod horses' feet often get larger during a...

Aside from the lack of references, the problem with Dr. Deb's Ranger article is that she provides no evidence of the danger posed by riding the young horse.

She does illustrate the orientation of...

I think Clinton is kind of a girlie-man myself -- too scrawny and pale for my taste. ;)

He may have a few useful tricks for behavioral and handling issues, but beyond basic colt-starting I don't...

Hey Tom: I don't doubt you have many dozens just as you describe. I'm glad you point out geographic/environmental differences. People post here from all over the country. What works for one horse in...

So there is no "movement" but there is a camp. I wonder what those weenie roasts are like.

Everyone gets so obsessed with photographs. While it is true a photo can illustrate abnormalities, pathologies, etc., a photo does not prove a hoof is more or less healthy than another hoof.

I...

By "bridging the gap" do you mean no more arguing? Or do you just want those who disagree with you to stop disagreeing?

No offense. Your post was very thoughtful, but I guess I missed the point --...

Zoinks! This is still going on? I must be lucky. We have so many great farriers around here.

Some of the most outspoken people in the barefoot "movement" (for lack of a better term) remind me of...

Yes. That's it. Exactly.

Interesting comment. He didn't say anything at all like that.

Hey, Mike, I believe I *got* what you were saying.

I wouldn't hang around here, either. People are so childish.:rolleyes:

Thirty lashes with a wet carrot stick for you!!!

Sounds like a pair of flip-flops are in order.:winkgrin:

I just have to ask: What is it with you and middle-aged women (emphasis mine)? I'm just curious because you brought it up twice.

Do you think middle-aged women are stupid or what?

Just...

Well the people on the Fiji Islands have been using it heavily for eons and last I heard they were still going strong. I don't know if it is safe for horses, but I can tell you it works great for...

It's obvious some of those here have watched part of one video and formed an opinion without looking at the bigger picture or understanding the horse's background or the trainer's philosophy. For...

I'm impressed that something I hate so much is loved so much by others -- Irideon Cadence. They are that ribbed nylon blend material with the Clarino seat? The material is itchy and they're...

Me too! As a young girl I fancied myself an Indian and longed to ride Scout.

A real horse I fantasize about having is Comanche, lone survivor of The Battle of Little Bighorn. I used to visit his...

And here I thought TV was making us stupid. Yet after 50+ years of TV, people have continued to evolve in many directions. At least some of us have.:D

I have not seen the Atlantic article but I do...

Maybe you need to look for a higher paying job?

My most recent farm calls:

$60 - regular vet
$150 - dentist vet (a very long haul)
$70 - consulting vet I met at another barn

I just suck it...

Thanks for the information, Reed. My comment was more in response to the notion that "Google is not a good source of information." It boils down to the actual source, as you point out. That's an...
