i agree! same here the opposite way! I get sick of hearing my horses should have special trims, shoes to gait, boots etc. My horses are trimmed to natural angles and barefooted and walk in sand 24/7. they dont need no shoes! it gets ridiculous when people in other areas try to tell people things sometimes. I have had people tell me our coastal bermuda hay is inferior.?? maybe it is where they are. But here its the best there is! I could feed alfalfa but it cost four times as much and i would have to ship it in from far away. And feed, oh lord dont go there. My horses do so well on purina strategy, and people say oh thats terrible, you should use blah blah, and I am thinking hmm, and pay shipping for fifty pound sacks of feed to be air mailed to me from hundreds of miles away?? people are nutty sometimes. I have had people tell me i shouldnt feed my horses at all. ?? every week this summer people with nicer pastures than mine were arrested for starving their horses, mine stand ankle deep in sand all day, umn, what are they supposed to live on?? air?? i think i need a valium too.
