That sort of stuff just blows me away, too, Cindy.  We evaluate horses the
same way, barefoot or not.  So is the poster here asking that their horses
be allowed an extra degree of lameness before being pulled, or what?  This
sort of plea for special treatment makes me just want to say that I rest
my case...
