Ridecamp: Re: [RC] [RC] Barefoot horses

Hmm.  You know, I saw that same magazine, and I don't see what this person 
sees...  Maybe I just don't have as good an eye for horses as I thought.  
Must be one of those mystical energy wave things that I just can't seem to 
grasp...  Or maybe my copy of the magazine was flawed in someway from the 
printers...

Maybe we need an Endurance Skeptics group?  Do controlled studies on our 
horses in regards to theraputic touch, homeopathy, psi communication, and 
now spirit photography?

I wonder, Bob, if this person could tell me what to look for so I know how 
unsound my shod horse is?
