WATCHER , i knew when i posted my advice that there would be sombody like you, ready to disagree with me, and have no advice to offer. read my post again, slowly. i did not mention barefoot trimming, barefoot trimming is where a sound horse is trimmed to work barefoot. this case is where...

hi there, i was just reading you,r post on collapsed heels etc, it sounds as though you cant get good advice. well i work on horses like that all the time, there is no shoe which can help the problem, the reason is that the heel collapsed because if the shoe, and will continue to do so. so...

kizzywiz, i note you,r doubts, and i wonder are they based on what you read, or experience. i have worked on laminitic horses for the past 20 yrs, in the mid east ,u s a and uk. as a result, i know all the treatments that have been tried to treat rotation of the pedal bone...

hi, there is no need to cut tendons, this practic is out of date and is jsed by people who are not up to speed on laminitis treatment, if you want help you can p m me

hi there, did you ever know what caused the origional laminitis, i e intolerance to high carbs ,spring grass, or other rich feed. or was it retained placenta, if none of these, was she shod with long toes out front, which could have tugged her hoofwall foward[laminitis in foot only, with...

the o p, has been given advice on what to do, it is up to her to do what she wishes with it. but there is no point in me saying anything on the subject on this forum. in spite of the fact that i am leaving now to do a very similar job on a horse in scotland,

i can see, that no matter what i would say on this forum, there are people waiting to disagree with everything. i teach farriers how to deal with difficult problems, but that counts for nothing on this forum. how can so many people know all there is to know about horses feet, and still need a...

hi when you do you study, and if you find what i was saying to be correct, will you be woman enough to admit it

believe you me, after all this pathetic nonsence, i have managed to give op sound advice, if you took time to listen to some advice on this forum, you,r horse would be in a sorry state

i can be bothered because i have given her good advice and where did i mention you as a forum i did not. i said god help the horse when i heard and seen what some so called experts were saying, as for you ,if you are so insulted by what was said on this forum, what are you getting involved...

joeanne, you have a good point. even a sound horse wirth no problems can be nailed very easly. the nail is driven up into the white line and out through the hoof wall . the nail can enter the laminae very easly before it exits the wall . if this happens, it will be noticed, and the...

have u lost it completly , i am not a barefoot trimmer, and i would never put a horse like that barefoot, can you explain why you are saying things like that, everyone on this forum can see that i did not say what you are saying. i think you really dont know as much as you think, and it shows
