[RC] abcesses that take a long time to heal. - rides2farActually, clay is one of the most drying sorts of poultices I've ever worked with. Tell me about it. I teach Art. Starting Jan. 6 I'll be in my clay unit and will be doing pottery 6 hours a day for about 3 weeks. My hands will be bleeding at the knuckles by the 2nd week despit applying lotion every 15 min. or so (between pots). I am slowly getting better though. Already getting ideas of custom pottery for awards if I ever put on another ride, great way to buff up your forearms by the way. >g< traditionally find that when they remove theshoes, it> > takes about 4-5 months for the damage of the hoofs to make itself fully> > seen/felt. Wait a minute. Assuming my horse has on shoes and is *apparently* sound, I can pull the shoes, let him go barefoot for 4-5 MONTHS and then when he goes lame blame it on the shoes? Boy, how do they do double blind studies to prove that? Ridecamp is a good place to discuss various treatments, but you've got to remember our mantra which isn't "Question Authority" it's "ALWAYS Question ALL authority...even if it's the authority of those who are questioning authority!" :-)) I wecome any statement anyone wants to make if I can defend it in a thoughtful way. I realize you're stuck in the middle trying to make your hoof care professional's argument for her. But you've got to give us the option of sticking up for what we believe works or has worked for us... otherwise there may be a reader out there who is new, reads what your professional says and takes it as gospel since nobody rebuts it. As it stands now, they see your idea, they see a conflicting idea, and they can weigh it themselves which is good.
