Hey, Andrea,

Very sad to hear of the flaming--and you have a pretty thick hide!   
You're not gonna change human nature, especially that what-worked-for- 
me need.  And that is why I get individual e-mails instead of the  
digest--the ability to quickly scan and delete, rather than scroll,  
would rather wear out that delete key.

What I wish is that some people would get the idea that there are not  
only black and white solutions rather than shades of gray, and that  
those people have not "seen it all" as they think--horses will humble  
ya every time.  That "calloused soles" thing drives me particularly  
ape, for one of my horses no amount of "conditioning" of his hooves,  
barefoot, will solve his flat sole problem!  And then people will  
come back and say, your trimmer is obviously no good, or you need to  
condition the sole on rocks/gravel, or...

Like Carolyn said, it's about the horse.  Not my ego, although I  
absolutely loved riding him barefoot, he was surefooted but very  
ouchy despite more than a year barefoot with little sole removal.
