I thought this study was VERY interesting. Dr. Miller comes to the Big Island for clinics on a regular basis, I have been to his imprinting clinics and have found his methods Creepy. The videos of his imprinting just does not feel right in my gut. Plus really Icelandic foals are one of the most friendliest and curious of all the foals I have ever been around....we allow them to be curious and come to us, that usually happens the first day without any stress or pressure. Just noticed too that no one has commented on this interesting study. Skye Fire Island Eco-Treks-808-443-6085 Fire Island Professional Farrier Service-640-6080
