Jack (or who ever he is) has not been banned, he chose to depart because Ray deleted his posts after Jack failed to deliver on his promise to post...
That's my one regret out of this George- I should have left this between Ray and myself and not involved other members. I mistakenly thought that...
To those who have sent messages, thanks. I enjoy this site and the people on it- with one exception. I can handle criticism and insults, but I don't...
It's all good Anthony, I'm just tired of taking unnecessary personal abuse from the anonymous "former vet"....one of us will leave.
I'm sorry to challenge your world Ray, but I don't think Jack and I can post on the same site. I'm happy either way! Do you want me or Jack, and you...
Jack mac or me. No need to explain, but one of us is leaving this forum. Vote as you please....
This might be the best definition of "balance" which I have come across. Well done Marc, thank you!
Thank you! But stop calling me Mr. Reilly, I keep looking for my father. Farriers have a pretty cool business, and I am lucky to work in a place...
Really? You are surprised that horse owners don't value your advice? I have news for you- I don't trust a word you say. You are the reason owners...

Tom, I had one vet ask me to lower the heel on a horse to lessen the strain on the DDFT. I was able to provide several references on the subject...
There was one horse owner who was looking for information on this site recently who received poor information regarding the efficacy of a treatment....
I suppose I could post pictures of a horse with a diagnosis and ask Jack to describe the "correct" method of trimming and shoeing, but we all know...
I wouldn't do anything I knew to be harmful to the horse. Having said that, there are many shoeing ideas which are difficult to prove. What is...
Eric, I just don't know. It seems different sized shops had different procedures- sometimes the nails were made in advance, sometimes they were made...
"A blacksmith made nails during his off time (slow time); in a larger shop nails were made by an apprentice. Sometimes an old farrier who could no...
I was generally one of the good kids, but your comment has some truth to it. I did get in trouble for questioning some school policies. I was...
I have been researching the topic of handmade vs. machine made hoes and I have some great quotes from the time period (1880s) about the cost...
I understand why some farriers place an importance on the skills associated with forging horseshoes. It seems that the people making shoes have no...
I am sometimes amused by Jack's personal and professional insults (I think my favorite was a reference to my "pathetic life"). I am quite happy with...
