A phenomenon I've noticed more on my page, the questions phrased as a genuine inquiry, (which I actually deeply appreciate as it helps me break down my process , the subconscious takes information in and you do things on intuition but in reality much of it is silent information you've stored), turns into a gradual or instant attack guised as "helpful advice" and superior knowledge. Then when the answer is provided it is met with mockery, jeering or outright nastiness. I realize social media has become the place for people to "speak" in a manner they wouldn't normally but just common manners and decency seem to be sorely lacking. I wouldn't dream of going on a person's page and doing the same to them. Putting your work front page and center of course opens you up to strangers and trolls.
I suppose it's a good lesson for each one of us to maintain equilibrium and remain professional, I appreciate y'all who are genuine and authentic.

When I get this feedback from a horse that was in shoes and 3 legged lame.... That's what makes my day... Not the trolls who post unnecessary rude and useless advice.

Since I had a few comments questions on this post, here's some things to point out. Top left picture shows distorted blue hairline purple dorsal toe wall and green heel which is actually distorted and starting to collapse but for the purpose of this post let's ignore that for the moment. What do you notice? The plane of reference for this horse is rather similar....on purpose while immediately helping the heel. Top right picture also shows a more pronounced hairline distortion and dipping at the dorsal aspect, purple dorsal toe is obviously distorted, green heel is more collapsed and the stress rings in the hoof especially the heel are very evident. Now let's examine post trim where I'm asked about the long toe which I have essentially not changed for this trim but you can already see the green heel has improved in one trim.... The stress rings have improved and relaxed already. And I took 20 mm of material, why are we so focused on the toe? Because as visual creatures we tend to focus on things that stand out, yes the toe looks long but nobody said that in the pre trim pictures, why? Because the visual heel changed. To me I trim based on what's in front of me at that time and continue to improve the structure FOR the horse not for me. I'm always amazed at how people form opinions based on a static moment in time. I get it though .. To them I say🙏keep on asking. 💕

Before and after. Shoes taken off and this lucky horse was given time to be in the feels.... His human is a great advocate for him. He landed softly with her that's for sure. ♥️

When you carry a cadaver leg and hoof around it's kinda inevitable a pup will want to steal it. 😂
