What I'm saying though is that if you had a farrier that did a nice job and whatever s/he was doing was working...you would want to inform the new farrier about what was working and what wasn't. Seems to me there was a discussion on the list many years ago about people trusting professionals. I agree with that to a certain extent, however, you have to educate yourself enough to know what a good trim looks like, and recognize when something isn't working. Just because someone calls themselves a farrier, doesn't mean they are a good one. It's going to take a few trims for me to believe they know what they're doing... Wanda
