Does this mean that Mr. Casey will now be represented here on the FHRC forums by you?
Well, if you think education is expensive, consider the/your [demonstrable] cost of ignorance.....Finally, a worthy project for your vaunted research center. Shouldn't take much time though, last drunk standing who can use words of more than two syllables in a coherent sentence wins. Get back to us with your new champion's name.Be sure to say 'Hey' to all those Bubbas who are ahead of you.Aw, you sound so disappointed. Have another drink. You'll get over it.We can do that already. And we don't even have to leave the comfortable confines of our homes to do so.Really? Perhaps when your comprehension skills exceed that of a third grader, you'll think differently. In the mean while, its heartening to know that this is the sort of stuff you are teaching those gullible enough to pay you for a farriery education.So does this mean that you are a member of NAMBLA? Or is it that you give 'em a "reach around" while you've got them bent over and grabbing their ankles?Allow me to further your education. "Hallellujah". Practice spelling it and writing it. There will be a quiz later on. Maybe you should add spelling it correctly as a question on your vaunted Master(bater)Farrier examNo need for that. You've already done the job.Do the folks at Field and Stream know about this?Why would we invite you?What makes you think anyone with more than the intelligence of a paramecium, would?That a threat, Bubba?Asked by a 'simple' man.....Of course you would. After all, you don't work for free do you?Considering their chosen line of work, I'll bet you felt right at home there.The prosecutor was found not guilty:confused:. I thought it was Frank James that was on trial?This is the kind of question you put on your mf test? No wonder your group enjoys the sterling reputation it does.I know that comprehension is not your long suit, and apparently that extends to mathematics, but in the spirit of collegiality I find I must point out that that's two questions, not "a question", which is what you originally stated you were going to ask."I could be wrong". ROTFLMFAO!! There's no could about it. And since even you recognize that it is, in your own words, "bull....", ..................LOL!Ummm, perhaps it would be better if you stopped mixing alcohol and pharmaceuticals.

No, speed cut is from shoes. Now if your thinking it occurs barefoot, the answer is no, because their feet are constantly maintained (balanced) and no interference from a rider. I assume you have rode a horse being a country boy and all.

Ralph, you would not have to put in the effort of backing up your bull or spending a day in court if you understood the concept of earning trust.

"People do not care what you know until they know you care". John Blombach.

Should be easy to understand the concept of balance, but some have to make it appear to be difficult. Baffle with BS and Dazzle with brilliance. Trim a hundred horses it will come.

A Hundred:(

The reason being that They wanted me there only at the beginning of a class, instead of toward the end. Given that most beginner students start out about the same, seeing a bunch of greenies in the first week was not the way to show off what kind of farriers they are sending out into the world.Where have you been?
There are several well defined, very specific definitions of "balance" in the industry, so when you decide what end parameter of balance you think is the right one, you have specific guidelines to use. If you can't decide what 'balance' should be for your clients based on your understanding functional anatomy, loading forces and so on (science:rolleyes:) then maybe you should question your level of scientific understanding the equine leg and foot. Shoeing is not an art in my book.... it's mechanical skills combined with LOTS of science.Or shaking my head.You said it, not us.

Agreed, hence the option 'adaptation' over 'evolution'. But that's an entirely new "can of worms", isn't it?

Hello JLB... welcome aboard.

Now be honest. Do people really let you come onto their property and shoe their horses? The only time I've ever heard anyone put those kind of thoughts into a single paragraph, they were usually homeless and suffering from a combination of drug addiction, alcoholism and mental illness.

I have no idea. Is it anything like the lateral 'passing gait' of a standardbred pacer?

Forget the numerous suggestions and self admitted need for additional education.

Therapy would be a more productive investment.

Does this man get any credit for anything

Smitty, at a minimum.

it might me a nice spot for a few days

see how one of the top schools over there does it

I did not know Mr. Casey's school was considered one of the top schools in this country. I wonder how it compares to Chris Gregory's, Mitch Taylor's, Mike Weldenstien's, Danny Ward's and many more?

Phil Armitage wrote:Huh . . . by who ????? :confused:
Now . . .
Kwantlen University Collage
36 weeks of Top School in North America
Gerard Laverty Instructor CJF AFA-Therapeutic Endorsement

How many schools go that long ?????

Not many if any.
Even Olds Collage in Alberta is only 9 months.

Kwantlen University Collage is impressive.

Bradley,

I know I'm somewhat older than you and that the teaching of mathematics when I was in school may have changed later on. However, my math shows that 36 weeks = 9 months and vice versa. Have I missed something or is it like the difference in the currency exchange rate between our two countries. :confused:
