>>To get this back to the subject line, for years, in contrast to my last paragraph, so-called Icelandic farriers have popped up at clinics with Icelander trainers, often taking direction from the trainer on how to shoe the horse to improve his gaits. Some of you may remember when an Icelander-trained American "master farrier" was advertised as available at a Icelander-led clinic a couple of years ago
Ah yes...I was exposed to the trainer and farrier's "must shoe your horse the traditional icelandic way for gait enhancement" ploy. BTW...I did not agree to the shoeing. Raven Lucy & Molly, the Girl Doggies Huginn, the American Ice Pony Dixie Chic, the Barn Goddess Respect ALL Earthlings. We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures.
