I don't know why it's such an issue, especially since there's a reason I'm doing it, but it's still hard.<br /><br />You've got to do what's right for Milo, and the fact that you even explained what Milo needed and what he wasn't doing and he opted to just go back to the way things were, just confirms you're doing the right thing.<br /><br />Hopefully the new farrier will be good for Milo!in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891429741466165577.post-53848499039111488032011-03-05T15:37:04.017-08:002011-03-05T15:37:04.017-08:00Melissa and Sarah, you both are some of the most i...Melissa and Sarah, you both are some of the most influential and knowledgeable horsewomen I know.

When I changed farriers I kept noticing that all the horses he shod and trimmed moved better than my horse at that time. Their hooves looked "correct" to me. I now know that he is a major contribution to why my horse is sound. I am willing to turn away from the nay sayers in order to do what is best for my horse. Years later I could not imagine having anyone else shoe my horse. Between him, Sarah, Peggy and Dave I feel like I am surrounded by the best possible team out there.Melissa https://www.blogger.com/profile/10666248960580183536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891429741466165577.post-44603305717641227122011-03-05T10:14:38.821-08:002011-03-05T10:14:38.821-08:00I am not an expert of feet.

I know there are two schools of thought about where you take that extra heel off and obviously now you have seen both of them since the new guy did the opposite correction from the former guy. I suspect if his hinds are responsible for those ribs, you will know soon.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891429741466165577.post-1050344808649518012011-03-05T09:37:25.149-08:002011-03-05T09:37:25.149-08:00Story you and I always seem to be on the same page...Story you and I always seem to be on the same page with things in our horse lives! Its crazy. Ive come to the conclusion that I will listen to what other people have to say about a professional, but make my decision through my own relations with the person. It makes no sense to discredit someone simply because someone else said they didnt like them. If I had listened to people saying that, I wouldnt have started with Sarah, and thank God I didnt listen because that was one of the best decisions I have made to date. <br /><br />I hope your situation doenst become too awkward with your trainer/farrier. But as a professional, he/she should be able to understand and let you make your own decisions about your horse. <br /><br />BTW, I posted a link to that episode with the rollbacks on your last blog post.paint_horse_milohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549633937628282128noreply@blogger.com
