I just bought Chris's new book off of e-bay for $130. plus $4.00 s/h
Looked all over else where and it costs $140. plus s/h

I am looking forward to reading it.

I met Chris many years ago and have admired him and all he and his family have accomplished through the years.

I also saw that Butlers Principles of Horse Shoeing 2 has shot up to well over $100. for a book that sold for quite a bit less a few years ago. I can only imagin what P of H 3 costs now. last time bought it it was $180.00

my 2 cents worth

I thought my life had come to a close with Cindy's passing, but there is life after death Thankyou Sharon !

Thought you might find it interesting that butler just sued Chris for making a farrier text book. His reasons were that it was the same size and drawn pictures were similar in nature. I saw the pictures side by side and I can tell you they looked nothing alike other being the same limb or part.
Like many others have said. Chris' book is much easier to read and I believe to be better all around.

I just graduated Heartland last week btw

Rick Burten OFFLINE Enforcer Posts: 9082 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 8	On page 391(lameness) figure 2(palomino horse) (http://heartlandhorseshoeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/pdfs/GTF_Lameness.pdf) is it just me or does anyone notice anything really odd about the front legs?

Millwater Publishing OFFLINE Senior Member Posts: 103 Karma: 0	. You mean page 391? All kinda' odd goin' on there. Looks like he's got elbows on the wrong side of the limbs for starters. Extensor muscles blown-up, or bad photoshop? Sure looks like an unhappy camper... Hind feet up-under like laminitis, but knuckling onto the toes in front instead of rocking-back onto the heels. .

.

Last page of Pollitt's spectacular book of color nightmares... Wife says I'm not allowed to get that one off the shelf when she's in the office.

A lot of chronic laminitis horses wind up with "contracted" tendons. But I've never had them get quite that bad... And they've usually stopped tucking the hind feet up under their bodies so obviously by that stage of the game.

A little annoying that, once you've got the feet pretty well stabilized and pain-free, the horse still wants to be stilted with the drawn-up flexor muscles.

Why yes Rick, I do notice something really odd, especially when enlarged. Don't think that one will take the Triple Crown.
