Yup I agree.  I don't like people hiding in code.. it's a trust issue for me

Hiding, me????? ROTFLMAO! Code?  what code?  ""?  Saves a lot of typing and is in fairly general use on the internet.  ""?  No code there.  Just a quick way of expressing my opinion and a succinct warning.

As for whether you trust me or not, 'Que sera, sera'  Since I regularly/routinely see in whom folks (mis)place their trust, whether you trust me or not, no me importa.

I suggest you place me on your ignore list.  Failing that, just don't read what I have to say.  Simple, n'est-ce pas?


I certainly did not mean that as a dig...and I really think that I have a lot to learn from your posts.  I love reading them.  Newbe trimmer here...I need all I can get.  

It just meant...why not say what you want to say.  I think we all know the common LOL, ROFL, BTW etc.  I don't know what this means...."IMNTBCHO"
or this "Caveat Emptor"....hmmm maybe I'm opening myself up to being called "stupid"  here  Oh well ....'Que sera, sera'  

Keep posting, I'm an eager reader.  Just be gentle on us newbie trimmers and not so computer savvy people

I just went through the case studies as I now have found the time  Sorry.  

What I see in abundance is contracted heels and more contratcted heels, loooong toes and more looooong toes.    Maybe if we addressed those?  

I'm thinking this farrier has offered "bandaid" solutions to the owners.  Kind of like you go to your Dr and say " I have heartburn" and he gives you a script.  It provides an immediate relief but what you don't realise is that it is a much bigger problem...maybe the heartburn is a warning sign that things...just ain't right.  The script makes you feel better initially but the warning sign has been ignored....yet again.  Symptoms have gone away but have only been masked.  Unless the true problem is addressed.. the major problems will again show their ugly face.  

Ok fly at me boys and girls feel free to critisize but that's what I see.  
(I'm always scared to post on this farrier part of the forum 'cause I usually get bashed)   My confidence is expecting a blow
 

Come at me   Give it a go....I'm ready

Indeed.  In fact, in one of my earlier posts(which has only recently been released by the mods) on the subject I noted:
Quote:
While I have little issue with that case study, to me, that case and many others are/were the result of a weak knowledge base and experience level causing the problem in the first place(ineffective/bad/poor trimming/shoeing) and once that issue was properly addressed, the pieces fell into place.


Problem is, by the time my posts are made available, the discussion has usually moved on/turned a page and my efforts are lost or unknown.  In effect, for me, "the juice just isn't worth the squeeze".  So, once this thread runs its course, I'll bid you(the collective) adieu.

I think you may only be seeing part of the picture.  Though I have no quarrel with your observations, my impression is that  he is presenting cases that were new to his custom and his treatment protocols seem to be intended to address the issues presented.  Whether those protocols are going to help or be 'correct' is grist for a different mill

Why care?  Why be scared?  Its just an internet forum chock full of lots of nonsense occasionally interspersed with a kernel of good information, advise, knowledge.  Put that afore mentioned grist mill to work and you'll end up with flour fit for cooking.

Consider it a 'call to arms'.  Don Quixote would be proud.

Perhaps if you learned even the most basic of manners, you could post like everyone else.

Because people like you insist on making an intelligent exchange of ideas painful. I think the only reason you use the internet is because nobody in real life can stand to talk for you that long. Might I suggest you rub a little Preparation H on your head?
