I don't know if you are talking about me not knowing the whole story or 
not.  I have a pretty good idea on whether or not a horse is weaving, has 
as gait aberration or is bobbing it's head up and down.  After finishing 
the horse was standing with all four feet together, shifting weight around 
because it was hurting so.  Head was down, the horse was in obvious 
pain.  It wasn't eating.  It wasn't doing what 'normal' endurance horses 
do, barefoot or not.  I don't want people reading deceptive emails on the 
internet and thinking it's okay to start riding endurance on 50 mile rocky 
rides and having us end up with a lot of hurt horses.  That is the negative 
information that is dangerous.
