Cost of barefoot v shod

I'm suprised with our simpleton minds we have been able to read the forum, although with my lack of education I do spell out the big words. Just assumed the pic comment was aimed at me. Unless its the pic of me modelling my angle grinder Ester posted!
... Toddles off on very sore feet due to owners lack of education & supplement use & jftd sussing the disguise, to find forum of educated equestrians.
 
I suspect that poster was confused between posters, even though replying to you, since you have no photos on here for them to judge. It must be tough wading though our inane ramblings, the products of such simple minds, when you're as well educated and of such superior intelligence as that poster.

Gosh we're so uneducated we can't even find the forum for enlightened, educated horse people :eek:
 
Its hard being so stupid that you cant walk and talk at the same time :cool:.

Comments could have been aimed at me as well. Oh and little legs as you do appear to be my pony, get some rest you have a lesson tomorrow and I'm expecting you to make up for the other day :cool:.
 
Pmsl. The use of the word 'enlightened' & mention of a forum for knowledgeable educated equestrians, plus a derogatory manner of posting gives my simpleton mind an idea of whose forum they may find more to their taste.
 
gosh I hope your instructor doesn't ask you to do more than one thing at a time, tomorrow, dafthoss. Your poor wee brain might explode!
 
Its alright she already does inside and outside rather than left and right as she knows my little brain cant cope :p:D
 
No wonder we are all such awful riders, we lack the mental capacity to co-ordinate basic aids.
( ps. shan't rest before lesson o uneducated one)
 
yes, you're a dope! :D

watching them now, just finished the first part - making interesting viewing... good luck tomorrow littlelegs, I think you're going to be made to work hard :D

I'm not quite sure what your reasoning was there, I was having a joke with another form user, who had already made a jokey comment. Why you felt the need to comment at all on my post is beyond me. You come across as very arrogant and judgemental, obviously your educational standard has been much better than mine. However, I think I possibly have the upper hand in both manners and sense of humour.

Takes one to know one! Having read your post, you sound like the only bitchy, nasty one who has posted up to now! I think everyone else's reply was tongue in cheek and humourous....

with you there Holly Hocks! Dressage babe seems to think I'm a "nasty cow". She really has no idea! Perhaps if she pulled her head out of her arse and got over herself, she would realise that some people can be both clever and funny. Like the majority of folks on here! x
 
Oh dear... I have to use a barefoot trimmer for my horse with no shoes on... a farrier is obviously no good...

Hmmmm strange mine hasnt had any shoes on for 18 months, and has only been trimmed by a farrier, with no special diet, and has never been lame/unable to hack out on the road.

You have one horse trimmed by your farrier if my memory is right one person may have said that you needed a barefoot trimmer most post have shown that people have a varied approach to barefoot some people have had to considerable changes others like you have made non of you say no special diet it depends what you fed before there's no one size fits all here and no one has said farriers are no good .
I chose to use a trimmer because my farriers view is barefoot is for small ponys only so I swopped to a trimmer to learn different views and I also preferred to have my horse trimmed by someone who believes it can work.

If you want a horse to continue competing in any discipline or hack/hunt over any terrain you WILL need to change the diet and have a true barefoot specialised trimmer do your horses feet. Ask your farrier/trimmer if he/she can put in a mustang roll! If they look blank at you then they know nothing about trimming correctly for a barefoot horse. All my horses are and have been barefoot now for 2-12 yrs. Magnesium plays a huge part in their daily feed as does cutting out all sugar ie course mix es, mollichaf, carrots & apples, Mollassed licks etc. True barefoot trimming should cost around £35-£40 every 6 weeks plus around £20 per 6 weekly for the magnesium so it certainly isn't the cheaper option if done correctly.

WOW! Talk about sweeping statements, better tell my AM horse that she needs to have shoes on, either that or sack my fab farrier cos I am sure he does not know how to do a mustang roll :confused: shame cos she has never had shoes on and, at 15 is as sound as a pound. Hmmm trouble is she is not a mustang either so how do I explain to her that she needs a roll in order to continue competing?
 
On a completely separate note, that damn woman with the angle grinder is haunting my internet, her ads keep pooping er popping up on various pages - even HHO :eek:

I feel victimised :(
