Ok, where is your data to support what you are saying here. Any one can bad mouth or say someone is a scam ect., but where is your data to prove what you are saying? I've got mine.

 

You are suggesting that all horse that do an endurance ride barefoot are going to be sore as you quoted >>>you think you horse is fine without shoes to do training and competition go
right ahead, but when you are through take a pair of hoof testers and see for
your self.>>>

 

I HAVE tested my horses sole with hoof testers after completing a 50 mile ride totally barefoot, and there is no difference before the ride or after. So you are hugely incorrect on this statement.

I HAVE seen more horses than I can count that was PERMANETLY healed by pulling the shoes, giving them a proper trim, and better living conditions. How does this possibly turn into a negative thing?

 

>>>I have seen these methods and other fads and have made
them comfortable with shoes.>>>

 

I am interested in PERMANATELY healing the horse not putting a band aid on the problem. Sure you can put shoes on, and mask the problem for now, but when you take off the shoes you still have the same problem(s) or worse that you started with. No this is not a scare tactic, just good ole' common sense.   
  

Respectfully,

Robyn

 One thing you people need to realize is that the Strasser Trim Book is full
of mis qouates and half truths when she refers to the other equine
proffesionals findings, from Moyer, Politt , Rooney and others.
  I know, I have all the references with the full statements and videos she
refers to. She reffers back to one reference from the 1830's and disregards
findings from later publications and research.
 The pictures and senarios in the book also show the affects of horse owner
neglect and equine professional ineptness-  in other words scare journalism
to sell a book and a method in which most horses are trimmed to be in pain
for 30 or more days.  I have seen these methods and other fads and have made
them comfortable with shoes.  
  People it is a scam!!!  and a trade off " shoeing is a necessary evil". If
you think you horse is fine without shoes to do training and competition go
right ahead, but when you are through take a pair of hoof testers and see for
your self.
