Tracy: you cannot learn to do the technique from reading about it. Your
farrier MUST attend a seminar from Gene or go spend time with him or one of
his instructors. Gene's phone number is 406-892-2977. I would also
recommend spending time with Bill Heflin and Ben Shipard (Grand Junction,
CO - see Western Horseman 1/97). Bill's number is 970-248-3653; Ben's is
970-523-1445. There is also Doug Frazier in Pocatello, ID. His number is
208-897-5780. Articles to read include this months The Horse, Trail Blazer
(7/96) on Rediscovering the Natural Foot and January's WEstern Horseman.
Good luck.
