Better retract my previous poke back. lol Only one way to really learn, and that is to try. So I'll make mistakes, have some sucesses, and...
You like being contrary I think. Never said I thought "oh it's all laminitis". Shoe was being set back in previous shoeings, then went to rocker,...
Thought I answered that. I made the decision to take the horse to the Vet. The Vet understood that I was paying for the visit in order for me to...
This was my answer to Eric's question. Am I missing something? lol

The money spent on the Vet was by ME. I have been shoeing this horse at no charge since I started. He is another retired City horse, and though I...
This above would be called constructive criticism vs. this down below which I would call demeaning. I have no issue with constructive criticism....
