Terry,

 

I am sure your message was well intended.  However, Kat is correct.  You absolutely HAVE to manage each and every horses individual hoof care needs!!!!  I am down from 25 horses to 13 and I can tell you that every horse was and is assessed on it's need basis not as a cookie cutter method of farrier care.  I have to tell you my farrier would read the riot act to anyone that thought that was the way to handle hoof care.  So, please, always check with a number of authorities prior to making blanket statements - especially on this forum!  Is your opinion valued and as important any one else yes - absolutely!  However, make sure it is an opinion that has been steeped well in knowledge, experience, and proven statistics. 

 

You might want to go back through  the archives on any given subject and see what the responses are.  Not only by experienced forum members.  A lot of the professional advice in the archives is from well noted authorities on the subject contact.
