telling the truth is my modus opernadi and I have no reason to be afraid of posting the truth-in fact the breed and industry would be better off if people told the truth and did not sweep things under the rug so to speak.I have had enough other people trainers breeders etc look at my mare who concur with me I do not slander anyone as telling the truth is not by definition anything but that.AlsoI do not publically mention who the breeders were as that is not important-lord knows it would take hours to list every breeder who has either "screwed' me in the purchase of horses and I am sure most of you out there have had at least one experience with less than truthful breeder/sellers.All I can do is be honest myself and fortunately I have heard nice comments from people thanking me for that even if it meant not getting business from themselves
: Wow, that's a bit harsh. I'd be a bit
: leery of publically posting something
: like that.
: As I stated, there are many people who
: have different opinions of what a club
: foot is. It is quite possible your
: opinion of a club foot and the seller's
: opinion of a club foot are two
: different things. I have seen many
: horses that people say are club footed
: and I look at them and don't see it at
: all. It seems to be the current
: "thing" to call any horse
: with even slightly unmatched feet
: "club footed".
: Anyway, unless a horse is majorily club
: footed (completely upright
: "box" foot), it should not
: effect their function or usuability.
: There are many horses out there with
: imperfect feet that are sold every day.
: There is no reason why your horse
: should be any different. No horse is
: perfect and there are much worse faults
: out there. Try accentuating the
: horse's good points and don't make a
: big issue out of faults. Every horse
: has them.
