i was torturing the apprentices today on fitting and finishing

I hope they appreciate your "torturing" as much as we do ( I mean that).

I do wish you would be a bit less enigmatic with your appraisals. Saying something needs improvement without being specific as to where is sometimes is not as helpful as I am sure you intend it to be.

No disrespect intended - you add a great deal to this forum, and I for one greatly appreciate it.

Regards

I very rarely have a chance to do such a clean trim around here, the horse must have very strong frogs and soles to be able to clean it that much. Too many rocks around, if you remove callus it will most likely be ouchy if not dead lame.

I am also talking about you, Smitty, if I may. I apologise if I may not. I do not mean anything ill with my sayings. I only mean to beg you for more, when you have the time and mood for it. Please, do not hold back from us because someone may say this or that.

You already offer so much. If you can and want to, if you think it will be useful, please share more. There are many people who have no other means to improve but such guidance and inspiration.

You're already doing a great job in here. And we are all grateful. But if you can put a better finish on it, please do.

After all, from most if not all of us here, you're the most about detail, aren't you ? Please, bring that approach in your writings too. We're in bad need of it.

It had a different consistency then the rest of the hoof, much tougher. My finish file was just sliding off that area, could not get a grip.
