: ...how many times have we pulled off shoes (shod by someone else) where all 4 shoes match perfectly?!?!?........I had one the other day....not only was the horse seriouly undershod, his breakover was way off, no heel coverage, walls raped to meet the shoe, balance was nowhere to be found
: : I often ask myself why I try so hard to do everything right.....I just can't bring myself to do it wrong......hopefully someone appreciates the difference......probably only the horse and me, but that's OK I guess
:
: Yup... and the guy was probably getting only a few dollars less than you and had more work....
: I know the feeling.... we have a guy around here that uses that "tachnology" and TRIES to shoe 2 horses an hour and brags that sometimes he can do 3.
: He gets about 50 bucks a head and is covered up with work. I don't get it.
: Sorry.
: I just don't get it.
: Can someone explain that to me?
: I'd really appreciate it
I figure I'm going to get caught at what ever I'm doing eventualy, so I try to do every horse perfectly. Better to have some old nag you think no one will ever see, get taken to the Vet for some reason, and have everyone there be impressed.
If your allways doing the best you can, it's no big deal to do when you have to.
