>>> Here are some things I found in a few minutes: I've seen a lot of that stuff too Kim, and not in the distant past. That's why I said I don't think Holar is so advanced - that sort of thinking was considered "old school" by the mainstream equestrian community here when I got my TWH almost 19 years ago. Sure, there are still people who try to manipulate gait by trimming, but they aren't considered very advanced. In fact, one thing that impressed me about Lee Ziegler's book is the section on shoeing and trimming - which is virtually a non-section. She basically says find a good farrier to trim and/or shoe your horse correctly for his conformation, and let the farrier do his job. That's Liz Graves' philosophy too.
