Rick, that is melted blueberry ice cream that was dripping off the vet's double dip he was enjoying while he stood over Travis and supervised the...
I know about 6 or 7 farriers that have walked away from this situation with one vet in particular. It's cool though they all got the exact same...
Generally when I meet face to face with a vet and discuss the horse in hand things go very well. It is the vets who insist on passing messages to...
Looks more like a "P" than a "Z" - make an "I-bar" shoe and an "A-bar" shoe to go along with it - call it the PIA shoe display. :D

You are being played for a sucker every time you do something you disagree with. AND you have to stand behind the job, the vet doesn't have ANY...
How about this. A vet orders you to drive a nail into the center of a horse's foot. You go right ahead and do it knowing you're going to hit P3...
Hope your liability insurance is paid up. If you disagree with what the vet wants, but do it anyway then you're committing malpractice. You can't...
