Hi everyone, me again!
I got my ear talked off yesterday at a saddle fitting clinic
(strange place for me to be - ha, ha, ha!) by someone who thinks all horse
problems can be solved by using the 4 point trim based on research done with
mustangs. Does anyone have any experience with this. I have skimmed the
article that appeared in "Trail Blazer," is anyone using the trim, what kind
of shoes, are you using it to correct a problem or because because you think
its the way horse's feet should be, what does your farrier think of it,
etc., etc., etc.
