: I'd be willing to wager that were you able to poll those horses that became room temperature after the Strasser Method was inflicted on them, you'd find that they felt the method was not good for them. Further, were you able to poll those horses who ended up in more pain, with more suffering, butchered feet, ad nasuem, I think you'd find that they didn't think the method was good for them. Ergo, your opinion that (with regard to horses)"the method is good for all horses" is pure nonsense. Which, when you think about it, sums up the Strasser Method(of Applied Hoof Butchery) quite succintly.
: - by the way Dr. Redden states that the correct coronet hairline angle is about 30 degrees. You can read Dr Redden's "wild horse" study on nanric.com - quite interesting.

: Hmmm. "about thirty degrees". Not exactly thirty degrees, not always thirty degrees, not "every" equid. Could be higher, could be lower(rarely).
: Philosophically and perhaps rhetorically, how do we know that what Dr. Redden states is correct?
: And, do these findings have real relevance in the world of highly genetically engineered horse breeds?
: "PLONK" goes strasser and her absolutism.
"There can be no absolutes." Dr Strasser - Big Blue Book, cannot remember the page - thought you had read it and understood it completely though Rick.
