Perhaps I did not make myself clear - I was referring to your right to choose to do whatever you want - in the particular context you spoke of - ie whether to take notice of other postings or not and now whether you leave this thread or not.

Another very enlightening comment by lubuzz.

Mrs.Mozart - You have the gift of free will to do just as you wish. Your horses don't.

Dear Mrs.Mozart - You make the assumption that because some of the pro-cytek posters are new that we do not care about such things? There are many pressing issues in the horse world. To my mind one of the most important - perhaps THE most important - is ensuring our horses are comfortable...

It can work if the horse is well supported at the heels but as this picture shows, they often are not. http://www.horseshoes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10750 This picture show no heel support at all. If this horse was shod over a period of time with the Cyteks it would result in dropped...

I share your view mossolb. The arguments against boil down to: I don't like Warwick (although he's not been involved for years now) I don't like the sound of the shoes I don't like the look of the shoes My farrier doesn't like them I had a bad experience once (the only genuine reason -...

This is a rather insubstantial statement and sounds a little desperate. As I replied to digitangel: If you know what you're looking at it makes perfect sense. If you don't - you'll never be convinced until you make yourself a bit more conversant with biodynamics, anatomy and the basic laws...

I've just watched this slide show for the first time. If you know what you're looking at it makes perfect sense. If you don't - you'll never be convinced until you make yourself a bit more conversant with biodynamics, anatomy and the basic laws of physics.

There's out-of-date and there's out-of-date. Cytek shoes have been around for the best part of 15 years so they've had plenty of time to catch up and traditional shoeing has not changed for about 150 years. Even Natural Balance is a copy of an old shoe - the Fitzwygram. If your friend's doctor...

Maybe I'm expecting too much from so-called professionals but I would expect them to take the time to find out the facts before they make such statements. If they aren't prepared to keep up to date why on earth are they shoeing horses? If doctors, dentists and lawyers weren't prepared to keep up...

No Evelyn this is absolutely NOT true. Your farrier 'friend' was lying. What on earth is the motivation behind the lies that some people spread? Are they scared of a new system they just don't understand/can't be bothered to find out about/jealous of the successes? Whatever the motivation I...

Yes, I agree. Many owners know little about the horse's foot - couple that with knowing very little about cytek shoes and we get the sort of uninformed opinions that have been expressed on many forums where they come up in discussion.

Het up? Yes I probably am but then perhaps you would be too if you'd heard over ten years of nonsense but seen what I'd seen. I've seen dissections of seemingly healthy feet with little half moon shapes in the tips of pedal bones where the bone has eroded. Guess what caused them - tapping the...

Just read through the thread maggiesmum. I believe you stated yourself that your experience of Cytek shoes was limited. For example: I keep hearing about the 'main man'. Warwick has had nothing to do with the shoes for years and despite what he may have told people was nothing to do with the...
