I looked at more of the examples you posted.  You should be more careful 
about telling people to check things you that you are trying to use to make 
your point.   After catching Robyn lying publicly, I'm not about to trust 
anything anybody else says about riding a horse barefoot again in an 
endurance ride.   I'm not against people riding their horses barefoot.  I 
don't want to see horses abused, and people lying about what really 
happened (which just happened!!!)  and causing other people who don't know 
better to harm their horses.

Here are some examples of completion rates of those horses:

62.5%
70%
33%
75%
50%
71%
75%
67%

They are sure getting a lot of lameness pulls and have a lot lower 
completion rate than average.  They aren't even doing a lot of miles.
