Geez..you guys. I don't know why some of you are picking on Debbie. I feel that way, so I wonder how she must be feeling.
I have know Debbier ...for many, many years...seems like forever. And the whole time I have known Debbie...she has been a barefooter. Sure, off and on over they years, she has mentioned barefooting to me, but NOT ONCE...did she shove it down my throat or tell me that I was a bad horse owner for shoeing my horses. In fact...Debbie has always supported my decision to shoe my horses, knowing that I was making the best decision that I could make...for MY HORSES. During this past year...as I was transitioning Huginn from shoes to barefooting, she supported me and gave me a ton of help. Sure...I don't do it the way she does it..but she still supports me. And I know that if I decide to show Huginn, she would give me "the look" ...but she would support my decision. Please believe me when I say...I have met "Barefooting Fanatics" and Debbie is not one of them!! She will still ride with you...even when you shoe your horse! Barefoot fanatics will not. Geez...guys...let's be nice to each other. Please.
