Someone suggested turpintine, I didn't even think about it but that could be a better choice. He believes me enough to be coming out and is stopping to get a can of the venice turpintine.
No more gimmicks for me.
give him a bute and a week off and turpentine the bottoms and I think he will be ok ..and stay with regular trims IMHO some swear by that barefoot trim.... i think its hogwash...my opinion though
Barefoot trims being taught are not created equal. Having learned a true barefoot trim prior to going to and graduating from farrier school, I can assure you, there is a difference.
You can label it a gimmick, it's your right to do so, however, if you ever had a real good barefoot trimmer with a head full of knowledge work on your horse, you'd feel different.
I was never one to say all horses can go barefoot...some needed to be shod....this is why I did both.
Also, just like no two people can sit in the same class and learn exactly the same thing, so is the world of farrier work and barefoot trimming. Depending on how a person learns, they take away a different view of the same subject. Any great farrier and/or barefoot trimmer should always keep getting educated and going to clinics, seminars, etc. You are truly never done learning. | |

So what's the difference? Theory? Physics?
And you're right, I haven't read many threads on here about this subject. I am blessed with a great farrier who has kept my horses sound (shod or unshod) for many many years, so it's not something I have needed to research. | |

I really am curious, I'm not trying to be rude! lol
I have seen some trimmers in my area that made me cringe as well, but I suppose not all of them are the same? | |
