If you have had much to do with horses, either as an owner, handler, or trainer chances are you've had to trust and recruit the services of a Farrier. Hopefully as you read this article you've had favorable results with your carefully placed trust. However if the trust you have placed in your Farriers expertise has let you down (and the Farriers work has been shoddy) you most likely have already suffered some serious consequences and your horse as well. Worse case scenario horses are put down due to chronic lameness rendering a great horse with years of training incapable of further use. Basically your worst nightmare.

The question now becomes how to re-establish your trust in Farriers or "a" farrier while not repeating or subjecting yourself to more disaster and risk to your wonderful animals. This to be honest with you is not an easy task to accomplish for several reasons. First of all you will need to educate yourself to the highest level to validate for yourself your Farriers credentials and quality of work.

The second problem is the Farrier industry itself and what are considered the industry standard textbooks are operating out of "Old school thought" and just have not in general broken through to more enlighten horseshoeing practices. The flavor of the Farrier industry itself is still one of searching for answers. There is still dissention amongst the industry as they struggle to discover more. This is the reason so called "Educated" Farriers are still ruining horses and why you still remain at risk until you find out for yourself the truth, become enlightened and liberate yourself and your horse from the risks.

Enlightenment to proper shoeing practice is not so "out of reach" of comprehension, although it might seem that way if one were to look at the Farrier industry itself and how it continues to struggle. Enlightenment really is attainable. Once you have the secret revealed to you the concept is really basically easy to grasp, the problem is for some reason the truth in this case is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's having to find the right window of perspective in the first place and then peeking into the unknown through that window and making sense of what you found there. Rest assures this is a reality. Imagine now you have done just that. What then are the possibilities?

Basically you've picked up where most Farriers have left off. You've discovered for yourself what the industry is missing. You have found promise and assurance. You've empowered yourself. Stepped into the light from the shadow of doubt, without a doubt.

This is exciting! The truth set you free. You've found the key. You've unlocked a great mystery. Haven't you ever noticed how mysterious horses really are? Have you ever wondered why our history is rich with flying horses, Unicorns? Half horse half man figures? Centaurs? Your new discovery ignites your passion. The puzzle assembled, the riddle solved. You're flying. Horse and rider become one, soaring on the wings of truth. And if you haven't noticed yet - your horse brought you there. You have arrived!

Sorry to leave you hanging here. The truth if you so seek it is available.
