: : : Of course you would not apply the Strasser Method to your show Saddlebreds and Hackney ponies! You are choosing man's idea over nature / evolution - that is fine for you - the method is good for all horses but not all horse owners
: 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.
Judging by the amount of licking and chewing that goes on while I trim I'd say that on the whole most horses are very happy with their feet. Some even let me know that i need to take off a couple of more mm by their action.

: - 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?
You think that somehow the basic skeletal structure has been change enough through a mere few 1000 yrs of breeding to justify what you do. Vet. textbooks show a ground parallel coffin bone in the skeletal pictures. Some how this fact gets lost along the way.
: "PLONK" goes strasser and her absolutism.

: : Thanks TE, I simply don't have the time to go and look things up right now.

: ROTFLAMO! Perhaps you should make the time. But then again, why should you? Regardless of what you found, it would be of no value to you. You can only use information that is disseminated from the Throne(think crapper) of Strasser. How does it feel to have your brain washed with crap?
These are things I have already learned Rick, just can't cite the source. Too busy with all my happy customers ya know.
You know Rick your continual name calling does nothing to state you case. I think most of the other farriers are probably excedingly embarrassed by your trash talk.
