: : : : I had the privilege talking to Gene Ovnicek last night. He called to answer some questions I had on using the foam blocks and other ideas in dealing with laminitis. I have to say that he is one of nicest people I have ever talked to, very positive and professional. His knowledge and understanding of the biomechanics of the hoof is amazing. He took the time without being in a rush to talk about many things. One of the things that stand out the most to me during our conversation was how much he cares about horses and other farriers. It is obvious that this man has dedicated a lot of his life and still is trying to figure out how to improve what we do. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work to do what Gene and his family are doing and to also call people to talk one on one is very impressive. Thank you very much Gene, hope to see you in PA in a few weeks.
