When I wrote the original article in TB, describing the state of the
show TWH, I was pretty conservation and eveything in there was fact.  I
think what got him was my call to arms to try to get people aware of the
problem so something could be done.  

It seemed my article sure hit a raw nerve.  Sort of made my day.  If you
want to send letter back to TB, it could only help the poor abused
horses.

The latest seems to be by compormising the integerity of the hoof, and
working the horses hard surfaces to induce road founder.  Now if that
isn't abuse, what is?
