Hi Shannon,
I don't believe anyone is 'cutting' those who have
barefoot endurance horses. (By the term 'cutting' I'm
assuming you mean insulting). Perhaps I'm reading
these posts differently. You're right that everyone
should be respectful of others' opinions, and It looks
to me that the only quarreling there has been on this
topic is due to miscommunication/lack of clarification, as well as
overly-defensive barefoot believers.
Also, if you joined this list "to learn about
endurance and to meet endurance people" why did you
say "I really don't care how many miles you have or
how many years you have ridden horses"? (I'm assuming
'you' means everyone on ridecamp) Those two comments
are pretty contradicting, and the second one sure
isn't very respectful.
You did say that you liked a good debate, so perhaps
you're just stirring the pot for the heck of it.
Don't mean to be rude by this email, but let's not
make enemies for no reason. Everyone who's heated
about the barefoot posts should probably just shrug
their shoulders and go ride. I liked what Maryanne had to say, too.

to talk about anything that is not "Okay" with the
majority of the major posters on this list or you will
be flamed when you try to defend yourself you will be
flamed more until you go hide in the corner or get
tired of defending yourself. I ride my horse barefoot
and you can all cut me anyway you want I will continue

This all started over a VERY successful rider who
rides barefoot. She was venting because The Endurance
New Vet's were to biased to publish her article. How
would you feel if you were asked to write an article
then when you did it was not published because of a
biased opinion. Yes even vet and other professional
people have opinions. I can find top vets that
advocate barefoot just like you can find one that
don't. I have a sister in law with a young daughter
who has asthma (very bad asthma) she took her daughter
to doctor after doctor until she found one that told
her she could keep her cats. You can find a expert out
there to backup any theory you just have be willing to
look. Life is an opinion. We should all respect each
others if you don't believe in the barefoot movement
deleted the barefoot message. I have found two new
horse friend because of this thread so maybe I should
be thanking al of you.
