This is exactly the kind of nonsense that is so damaging to horses of the
impressionable newcomers who read it and believe it.

While the image may be consistent with a horse with minimal circulation,
that is NOT consistent with shod hooves in general.  To think that shoeing
cuts off circulation in the foot is about on par with thinking that the
sun comes up because the rooster crowed.

Furthermore, anyone so naive as to BELIEVE such drivel is apt to miss
whatever the pathology is that is REALLY causing the problem.  I pity
their horses.
