Gathering feral cows in the ruggedArizona countryside is dangerous anddemanding work. But it’s how two

brothers make their living and follow in theirfather’s footsteps.

Travis Ericsson’s eyes bug out when hesees about 20 black cows trotting down aridge line in the distance. He quickly slidesout of his saddle, turns to us and whispers asloud as he dares.“Down! Get down!”

We all dismount and begin franticallytightening our cinches and cramming ourhats down to our ears. After hours of search-ing for wild cows in the mountainous desertnorth of Phoenix, studying tracks and cowpatties, and moving at the pace of a sleepyold cowboy tune, the tempo quickly acceler-ates into a loud, heart-jarring, heavy-metalanthem.

The cows spot us and begin hustlingdownhill to the north and around the back-side of a tall peak. Wheeler, Travis’ brother,swings into his saddle and spurs his horsedownhill and to the north. A deep-cut creekprevents a direct path to the cows, so Wheelertakes a parallel route, intending to literallyhead them off at the pass.

Travis’ mind is racing. He yells atWheeler to wait, but to no avail. He waves hisarms at Ryan Else and Kyle Romo, positionedmiles away to the south and presentlyunaware of the situation. Pacing and strategiz-ing while chewing his finger, he takes a mere10 seconds before hopping on his gray mareand storming in the direction of Wheeler andhis barking dogs. “Come on! Let’s go! Let’s

go!” he screams.Mike Kevil and I grip our cameras, find

our right stirrups and follow the crazed mandownhill as he zip-zags his mare down thesteep grade like a snow skier in a slalom race.Cinderella keeps her hocks on the hillside,bouncing and lunging left and right whilesending rocks tumbling over the prickly pearand catclaw below.

Travis and Wheeler have been chasingcows since they were boys, helping theirfather, Dave Ericsson, do the same job. Whenthey began riding, he required that they learnthe skill bareback. even when riding throughthe steep and rocky country where they wereraised. Once they advanced to stirrups, theyput their saddle horns to good use.

Travis doesn’t recall a time when he did-n’t rope. As a 5-year old, he spent a winter inCalifornia heeling wild bulls for his dad.

With the senior Ericsson’s guidance,Travis and Wheeler became experts at catch-ing wild cows at a young age. Throwing anaccurate loop is only one of the many essen-tial skills for a job that involves tracking, usingdogs, handling and/or wrestling cows, shoe-ing horses and tolerating long, hot days in thesaddle.

Travis admits that he wasn’t enamoredwith the work until he left home as a grownman.

“I grew up hating this,” he says. “This isall we did. So I got a job as an iron worker inVegas. After two weeks of that, I realized thatthis cowboying wasn’t all that bad.”

Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, the 32-year-old cowboy also trains and shows ropehorses and works as a consultant for localranches. He spends about 100 days a yearchasing wild cattle. He and his crew oftencontract with the U.S. Forest Service to removehard-to-catch cows from government land.They also provide their services to privateindividuals.

Sometimes they deal with domesticated,spoiled livestock, but mostly they hunt andrope cows that are essentially feral, descen-dants of mavericks and remnants that learnedhow to escape conventional ranch roundups.Dodging cowboys in their blood.

Because of this, the Ericssons don’t havethe luxury of driving cattle to corrals. Theyonly way to get wild cows in their stock trail-ers is to chase them through the cactus, rope,dally and tie them to a tree, then eventuallylead them out like pack mules.

“There are other cowboys around herethat do this,” says local trainer Mike Kevil. “Ijust haven’t seen anyone that can do it as well.Those other guys don’t have quite the finessethat the Ericssons do, especially in leadingcattle out of rough country.”

Kevil specializes in starting young per-formance horses. But having learned thebasics of videography and possessing theunnatural desire to film wile horseback, hebegan riding with the Ericssons to producean instructional video on catching wild cattle.Undeterred by dusty lenses, angry chargingcows, rattlesnakes and low-hanging branch-es, Kevil has recorded numerous helpful tipson handling and caring for fractious cows,tying knots and practicing sound horseman-ship.

By the time Cinderella and Travis reachthe bottom of the hill and cross the creekbelow, Wheeler has already met the cows.Wheeler’s horse stumbles and falls as heswings his loop, and four cows squirt towardTravis.

Travis lines up behind a soggy blackcow that likes to kick. Unfazed, Cinderellakeeps rating and then hits the brakes asTravis dallies. The cow, with dogs nipping herheels, tries to roll into the creek bed, but thegray mare digs all four feet into the ground asTravis dismounts and ties the bawling brute’shind legs.

Wheeler, Ryan and Kyle quickly show upto help Travis and rope another cow.

“Yeah! Cowboy!”Travis yells.“Cowboy!”With the two cows tied down, the crew

unsaddles to let their sweaty horses catchtheir air, cool down and slurp water from thestream.

After the break, the cowboys, somehorseback and some afoot, spend the nexthour tying each cow to a tree.Time spent hog-tied on the ground hasn’t dampened one

VET WRAP

The TruthAbout Sand

Written byDr. Erika Cartwright, DVM

As we know here in Arizona we have aproblem with our horses ingestingsand. There are many theories about

the best ways to prevent horses fromingesting sand or treating sand accumula-tion in their gastrointestinal system. Thebest way to prevent sand accumulation isby preventing it’s intake. All hay fed out-doors should be fed on large mats. Thoughfeeding off the ground can help decreasethe amount of sand ingested horses will stillpull food out and the eat their dropped foodoff of the ground. Short grass pasturesshould be avoided. If long grass isn’t avail-able, then bare lots are preferred so thathorses aren’t ingesting sand while trying topick up the stubble. For those horses whoare aggressive eaters and tend to pullplants out by their roots or must be onshorter grass, a grazing muzzle can beused.

No matter how well we manage inges-tion of sand, horses will still ingest smallamounts. For removal of small amounts ofsand from the intestinal tract psyllium isrecommended. Psyllium should only be feddaily for one week out of the month. If fedevery day the intestinal tract will becomeacclimated and the sand will not beremoved adequately. I am not a fan of usingbran mash as a way to remove dietary sandbecause large boluses of bran can signifi-cantly slow the intestinal tract.

The Kingsmen announced at the last meeting that Mark's wife, me, was the JulieMcNeary in the column in your paper, so they all read it. Also we stopped at theRanch Cafe in Ashfork on our way to my cousin's house and they recognized me.We were at a dinner in Laughlin and another person at the table from Californiarecognized me, also my neighbors who didn't know I was writing again, so it's

getting around. I'm sure the more nuts I get, the more people. Even got an E-mailfrom Wisconsin, so that was from the internet. Things are moving right along.

Lisa Boody was borne with cer-bral palsy. She cannot walk andher left hand has limited func-

tionality, but she has an amazingspirit and does not let her disabilityhold her back from living herdreams. She always had a love forhorses and got to ride on ponies atfairs occasionally. Things changed,when a friend offered to give Lisariding lessons. She was 10 years oldthen and all excited, and set herselfa goal to own a horse by age 16.

Two months later, though, themare Lisa got riding lessons oncame up for sale. Lisa had alwaysbeen very business-minded despiteher young age. For two years shehad been selling her used toys andpopcorn at events like the Winter-fest in Lake Havasu and had savedup all her money, so she was able tobuy the horse from her own savedmoney.

In the beginning Lisa was ridingwith a special seatbelt attached toher saddle, but as she progressedand did better and better, she start-ed to ride her horse bareback.Needless to say, she fell off severaltimes, but got right back on. Hermare, Synderella, turned out to bethe best that could have ever hap-pened to Lisa. She has the rightspeed and gentleness to take care ofLisa’s needs and became her bestfriend.

Lisa is now 13 years old and hasreally come a long way with herhorse. She is now riding in Gym-khana competitions all by herselfand has just learned to lope herhorse. She is determined to becomefaster and faster, working hard on it.

Her horse is her life, as it gives herthe freedom and mobility that sheotherwise does not have.

Another dream of Lisa’s is tobecome a famous songwriter. Shehas written the lyrics to 4 songs, is amember of the American Song-writer’s Guild, and is taking pianolessons to learn to play her key-board in order to be able to com-pose her own melodies. Lisa hasbeen home schooling since 7thgrade which greatly helps her hav-ing time and the environment to pur-sue her dreams.

Lisa’s determination in every-thing she does inspired her mom tocreate a website called www.spe-cialpeoplelikeyou.com. This site isintended as a networking tool, aresource and an inspiration for peo-ple with challenges/disabilities, as aplace where everybody can sharetheir special stories.■

cow’s resolve to fight every step of theprocess. With her feet untied but two loopsaround her neck, she thrashes around in thecreek and manages to punch her back hoofinto Kyle’s rib cage.

The crew and dogs eventually move herto a stout tree that has had its lower limbsremoved for safety. They again tie her feetand fashion a neck rope that neither loosensnor tightens around the cow’s windpipe. Withher tied securely to the tree for the night, thecrew removes the tie-strings from her feetand repeats the process with the other cow.

That task complete, they waste little timestriking a trot in search of the other cows.Wheeler corners a group near a cross-fenceand a gate, but they crawl through the barbedwire. Wheeler unlatches the gate and quicklychases down a yearling bull, heading him andtying his back feet. In a matter of seconds he’sback in the saddle and roping another cow.

Travis nabs a bull in a nearby draw, andwith Kyle and Ryan pursuing cows in a differ-ent direction, Kevil hangs his camera in a treemomentarily to help Wheeler and Travis hooktheir catches to trees for an overnight stay.

The crew rides into cap at sundown andpromptly unsaddles, waters and feeds thehorses in the dark. A little later, waiting whilethe campfire slowly cooks their hamburgerpatties, they scarf down corn chips, potatochips and peanuts. They laugh at how everyman encountered some sort of wreck duringthe day. As the talk finally dies down with thefire, a few of them stare at the millions of lightsof Phoenix below. An ever-encroachingmetropolis, it hasn’t spread into their territoryyet.

The quarter horses that Travis and hisdad raise are sired by their stallion, whotraces to Peppy San Badger. Travis owns fourbrood mares that he keeps on his dad’s ranchbetween Superior and Globe, Arizona. Davehas six mares, as well as a herd of several hun-dred cows.

“Out horses are raised on the roughestplace on earth, I believe,” Travis says. “But ahorse that’s raised there can get around any-where. You don’t seem to have as manywrecks with them as you do with other hors-es.”

Cinderella wasn’t raised by Travis, butthe gritty mare has earned her owner’s admi-ration.With First Down Dash and Poco Tivio inher bloodlines, the 10-year-old mare caughtTravis’ eye while competing in roping events.

“She had a three-foot-long mane and atail that drug on the ground,” He says. “I did-n’t think I could get a horse like her. But I wasable to trade a heading horse to Pace Freedfor her when she was 5. It was kind of aCinderella story, so my daughter named herthat.

“I turned her out on the ranch for a year.Then I started using her. She has raised twocolts so far. I’m praying that she turns out tobe a good broodmare.”

With the next morning’s sun creepingabove the hills to the east,Travis tacks on a setof horse shoes while Kyle cooks eggs andWheeler searches for an Advil.

The horses stand tied to the trailers, cac-tus needles sticking in their legs and sweatstains along their chest. They all wear bellboots and sports medicine boots with ducttape wrapped over top. The crew attachesthree or four ropes to every saddle beforeheading out of camp, pulling on the reins tokeep their mounts at a slow job. Travis poniesa grullo 2-year-old gelding.

“We may be late in leaving, but we’ll belate in coming back.” Travis tells me.

To get where they worked the day

before, the group climbs a steep, rock trail –so steep that they pause every 50 feet to lettheir horses blow.

“I never let them get out of wind becauseyou never know when the chase is going tostart,” Travis says.

Topping out, they spot several cowsgrazing on a hillside a few miles away. Kevil’sbrother, George, who managed a cattle oper-ation on this land for years before it becamegovernment property, has joined the crew. Heand Travis discuss possible routes that willallow them to take the cows by surprise, butdecide that any option is too taxing for theirhorses, so they ride toward the five cowscaught yesterday.

Transferring a wild cow’s tether from atree trunk to a saddle horn is no simple task,involving roping hind legs, tying fronts,dehorning and possibly setting a ring in thecow’s nose. Once a cowboy has it hooked tohis saddle and ready to walk, another cowboyhollers and rides up from behind, spookingthe cow into motion.

“If they’ve been tied to a tree all night,those cows are wanting to go somewhere any-way,”Travis says.“You never ever pull or dragthem.You just give them a direction to go. Thespooker has to be aggressive. And when thecow moves, you just go with it. And the mainthing is to stop when she stops.”

Trying to pull cows causes them to braceagainst the pressure. Usually, after the spook-er makes a handful of runs from behind, cowslearn to walk or trot beside the horses.Eventually, they become docile enough thatone cowboy can lead several head.

“We’ll lead as many as five, six orseven,” Travis says. “As long as you have awide area, you can do that.”

By midday, Kyle and Wheeler are eachleading a cow toward camp. But while Travisand George work to hook on to Cinderella,not all is smooth sailing. Riding alone,Wheeler gets in a bind as his yearling bullturns and knocks his horse off balance.Wheeler finds himself under his horse withhis boot hung in the rope. The bull deliversseveral blows to his face before Wheeler getsback in the saddle and regains control of thesituation.

Cracked ribs, broken collar bones, deepcuts and big, black bruises are things withwhich Travis’ wife has grown accustomed.

“She’s pretty much unshockable,” Travissays. “At first she’d always be worried aboutme. But she never tried to talk me out of this.She realizes that this is what we do.”

Travis and Wheeler’s passion for wildcow catching is practically genetic. Theirfather, who has chased cows for a lifetime,

often rides with his two boys at age 70.“He can’t get enough of it,” Travis says

with a laugh.For the Ericssons, the thrill of the chase

trumps, every other hardship.“No matter how bad the situation, it

never got too bad for Dad,” Travis says. “Onetime, it was midnight and snowing hard. Wewere leading bulls and still had eight miles toget to the house. He said,‘This is living. Betterthan working at Circle K.’ He was the eternaloptimist.”

Cinderella is out of gas before Travismakes it back to camp with the cow hitched tohis saddle.With Kevil’s help, he ties the cow toa tree, unsaddles and waits for someone tobring his 2-year-old grullo, which has beentied up most of the day. Usually, Travis hasmore horses to ride, but a few days ago hesold some. These days, it’s best to not turndown an opportunity to sell horses.

With a fresh but green mount, Travisjoins the rest of his crew waiting at the tope ofthe pass over looking the steep climb theymade earlier that morning. The wind whipsaround their hats as one by one they steertheir horses down the rocky route. Kyle andWheeler lead two cows downhill.

“It takes a really good hand to wait andbe patient with those cows when leadingthem out,” Kevil says. “Especially when youhave more than one cow.”

The men slowly pick their way aroundbushes and boulders that stand up like tomb-stones. They finally reach the bottom andhead for their stock trailers. With a lot ofyelling, arm-waving and banking metal gates,the crew loads all five cows.

When providing their services to indi-vidual.s, Travis and his crew usually get 50percent of each cow’s market price. However,when they contract with the Forest Services,they are paid by the head. For this trailer load,they will receive a grad total of $750.

It was a short, two-day job, but they’ll beback. For now they light campfires, grill hotdogs and enjoy their perch, high above thebright lights of Phoenix. ■

Greatest FearsWritten by Julie McNearyof the Purple Rose Ranch

There are instruction booksfor raising a child, raising ananimal, decorating your

home, and even brain surgery.Why then is there not a book onwhat happens to a woman’s bodywhen she gets older, especiallywhen she has to buy blue jeans?

I’ve come to the realizationthat “old age” is not the problem,it’s gravity. I remember when Ihad 38D’s now at 65, I have 38longs. I hate when my butt hangsout of my shorts and I’m wearingbermuda’s. I went to buy abathing suit and it was pure hell.Then I decided to try on a “slimsuit”. Oh, it slimmed me alright,but the fat has to go somewhere.Like a squeezed tube of tooth-paste, a little middle and mythighs blew up and the little but-terfly tattoo on my shoulderturned into a 747. I finally had tosettle for a tank top and boxershorts until next year....thank Godit’s Fall. But I see so many womenof all sizes and shapes in jeans thatfit. How do they do it? I am builtlike a tomato with toothpicks stick-ing out of it, skinny arms and“chicken legs” as my husbandcalls them. The jeans that fit mylegs, cut off my oxygen to thebrain and make my “muffin top”look like a huge pound cake. Thejeans that fit my middle, bag in mylegs and I look like I’m wearingdiapers (not yet). I can wear skin-ny jeans, but then I have to standall the time, because I can’t sitand will pass out and just forgetabout mounting a horse, I’d needto be lifted up with a block andtackle like the Knights of Olde.

So my fears continue, myquest for the perfect jeans contin-ues and my reality that I’ll keepgetting older continues. If I winthe lottery I want to have plasticsurgery, have all the loose skinpicked up from my toes to myhead and put in the right place,but my only fear then is that Iwould be 8 feet tall. Till then I’lltry to grow old gracefully.

A-Schuerr-Thing Horse Training and Riding Lessons

Written by Pam Wagoner

To some going hunting on abrisk fall day may not seemlike a big deal, but to Pam

Wagoner it is a dream come true.

Pam suffers from COPD, a debilitat-ing lung disease, in addition to threevery painful types of arthritis. At 54,Pam has worked most of her life inthe automotive and constructionindustries. The nature of the work

contributed to her present ailments,but with the help of her loved ones ithasn’t stopped her from living life tothe fullest.

With the help of husband Tedand her adopted brother RickPierce, Pam recently accomplished alife long dream of taking down anelk. The two men took the time tofind hunting locations that she wasable to access, and waited patientlyfor her to catch her breath while hik-ing. Thanks to them Pam can nowproudly claim to have hunted herfirst, and very likely, her only elk.

On Oct 10th, the third day of ahunting trip, the group awoke to thesound of a big bull elk bugling near-by. They knew they were close, sothey set off up a small hill following

the sound of the bull. After a bit ofhiking to follow the herd, they heardan answering call and realized thatseveral cow elk were there withingun range as well. While settling into take aim, Ted motioned to Pam.The big bull had locked horns with asmaller male, a sight seldom seen.Finally Pam found her shot, honingin on a lone cow. With one shot shetook her down, swiftly and withouttrauma to the magnificent animal.

Says Pam,“We will have meat fora while now, and I got to hunt an elkonce in my life.” Pam does not planon trying again next year.“I’ll let theguys go; I’ll just stay back and cookfor them. That I can still do. Mythanks to all that helped make adream come true”.

Pam Wagoner’s First Elk a Real Dream Come True

Written byMary H. Iozzo – Iozzo Shoeing

Back again this month for another fewwords of wisdom for the horse owner. Ihad an experience with my horse that I

would like to share with you. I own a geldingthat I loved from the first time that I laid eyeson him as his farrier. Bred for western pleas-ure, this horse captured my heart from dayone. When he was three I finally was able toown him for myself.

When training with Forrest I found himto be very stiff to the right. He wanted to getbehind the vertical and touch his nose to hischest when I would ride him. He would alsoclank his teeth together almost like theywere chattering from the cold.

In an attempt to correct this behavior Ihad Forrest adjusted by an equine chiro-practor who was wonderful. The treatmentreally seemed to help with his stiffness to theright side, and he was now able to pick uphis right lead in the lope. His mouth prob-lems persisted however, and I was unable toget him to leave his mouth alone and ridequietly as he continued to chomp at the bit.His teeth had been checked and floatedmany times in the five years that I haveowned him, but nothing seemed to correctthis annoying habit.

A few weeks ago I happened to meet agraduate from the Texas institute of EquineDentistry. We discussed horses and the con-versation eventually came to my problemwith Forrest, at which point he asked me if Iwould let him take a look into his mouth. Ofcourse I emphatically agreed!

After a brief examination this dentistinformed me that Forrest’s mouth was amess, and proceeded to show me what hemeant. His jaw was out of alignment and hewas going behind the vertical to relieve thepain. He had a molar in the back that waspushing his jaw to the right and causing

more pain. He worked on Forrest’s mouth forabout an hour or more using small grindersand files. He informed me when he was fin-ished my horse’s mouth would be a bit sore,but to ride him a little each day to help himrecover more quickly. He also told me thatwhen he was better in three days it would belike I had a brand new horse. I was, ofcourse, skeptical at the time, but hoped forthe best.

To my delight the dentist was right!Within a few days Forrest was relaxed in hisface and neck, no more behind the verticaland no more biting or angry behavior. Helicked and nuzzled me and was quiet for thefirst time in years. I would not have believedthis had I not experienced it for myself, andI can’t tell you how pleased I am about thegreat work this man has done for my horse.

Just like the horse’s feet need to be inbalance to get the best performance, sodoes their mouth. My assumption was thatForrest’s actions were bad behavior, when infact they were reactions to severe pain. I feelbad that it took so long to get it figured out,so would like to share this information withmy readers. Before making the mistake thatI did, make sure that bad behavior is notyour horse’s attempt to tell you that he is inpain and in need of medical attention.Sometimes a “bad” horse is just an uncom-fortable one who needs your help to allevi-ate some discomfort. This acting out can bea dangerous way to escape pain caused bythe bit or riding, and should be addressedbefore an injury occurs.

As always, keep it safe and enjoy yourhorses.

SnowdriftIn the middle of a field on a December morn, a little filly lay,

she had just been born. All the old mares looked down on this special gift,for the filly was all white, whiter than a snow drift.

She had come into the world in the usual way, but I wondered how comeon the holiest day. As I looked into those eyes it was plain to see

that she was sent from above, especially for me.

Snowdrift and I have become best friend, doing our daily job from sun upto the day’s end. If I had to give her up, it would tear me apart

cause from that first day, we were joined at the heart.

She seems to know my every thought and mood. She does what I ask,and would do more if she could. I’m truly blessed and here to say,

I gave birth to a pure white filly on that Christmas Day!© Rick Pierce 2007

Written byDoug Butler, PhD, CJF, FWCF

Butler Professional Farrier School

More than one hundred years ago farrierswere confronted with the same problems asfarriers are facing today. The “shoeless

experiment” was then proposed as a one size fits allsolution by “the barefoot people.” (See page 2 ofWilliam Hunting’s, The Art of Horseshoeing, pub-lished by W. R. Jenkins in New York, in 1898).

It was a con man’s dream. It seemed too goodto be true. No longer would horse owners have topay to have their horses shod. Little training wasnecessary. The horse owners themselves could sim-ply round the edges of the foot.

For inactive pastured horses it probably wasall that was necessary to maintain the animal. But, formost other domesticated horses, that had a job todo, it was probably cruel. Well trained horses wereplentiful then. If one went lame, they could simplyget another. Heroic measures to save expensive ani-mals were unheard of.

The experiment didn’t last long because:1) People had a fairly high level of equine

knowledge due to the widespread use of horses inthe city as well as the country.

2) Emotion didn’t enter into a decision asmuch as common sense.

3) Common sense was more common than

it is today.4) Con artists hadn’t thought of the natural

wild horse model to sell their ideas.5) Even if they had, people didn’t see wild

horses as an ideal.6) People weren’t as consumed with the

idea of avoiding learning and hard work as they arenow.

7) If a horse went lame after being so treat-ed, it was recognized immediately as an ineffectiveand cruel practice.

All that is necessary for a “trimmer” to start inbusiness today is to read someone’s article or book,create a clever (and misleading) brochure, andadvertise to often unsuspecting horse owners. Thepromoters say anybody can do this. No qualifica-tions or experience are necessary [to cripple hors-es]. Certification is given to future practitioners bythose who sold the con.

Twenty-five years ago, the AFA (AmericanFarriers Association), would not allow me, as ahorseshoeing instructor, to certify my own students.The reasoning was that this would be a temptation tocertify my own students to make my program lookgood. At the time I felt they were questioning myintegrity, and I was not pleased.

In retrospect, I believe it was the right thing todo. These “trimmers” or “barefoot people” aredoing that very thing now. They are telling their dis-ciples to watch a DVD, or read an article/book, or

attend a short course. Then, pay a fee, and they willbe certified and added to a list of certified “naturalhoof care practitioners.” It’s brilliant!

I recently gave a presentation at a horse expowhere I pointed out the flaws of so-called naturalhoof care by unqualified persons. A local farriercame up to me later and told me how the naturaltrimmer in his area was good for his business as hewas called to redeem horses that she had crippledby using her technique of cutting the heels downuntil they bled.

Trimmers, and other fad promoters, will go togreat lengths to justify what they do. The founderand chief executive officer of an association of bare-foot people sent me an email in 2001. He was verycritical of the German veterinarian who advocatedradical and inhumane hoof trimming techniques.Yethis disciples and “certified practitioners” are nowadvocating and practicing the same things this vet-erinarian does. They are crippling horses that aqualified professional farrier has to try to rehabili-tate.

Why would horse owners hire an inexperi-enced, unqualified person to trim or shoe theirhorse? 1) Perhaps no qualified farrier is available; 2)Perhaps they want to believe the appealing market-ing story told by the con artist; 3) Perhaps their pre-vious hoof care provider had done a poor job ofeducating his or her clients; 4) Perhaps they thinkthey will save money; or 4) Perhaps they are igno-rant of the damage that can be done.

I’m willing to believe the reason people buyinto the natural trimming idea primarily goes backto the widespread ignorance about the foot andshoeing that exists among both the farriers and thepublic. I was raised by a mother who instilled in mea soft heart for abused horses. I feel a strong senseof responsibility to warn others of things that willcause unnecessary pain and suffering to our equinefriends.

This near perfect barefoot con allows its pro-moters to take no responsibility for their mistakesand errors. They deny individuality of horses whenthey say one size fits all. They use the term “natural”to sell their “new and improved” technique. They

simply blame the horse’s lameness condition on theshoes the horse used to wear.

What ever happened to “first do no harm?”Our society is rejecting science and education

as a whole.We are willing to pay more for entertain-ment than education. We value glamour more thansubstance. Emotional appeal is more convincingthan scientific proof. The insanity of animal rightshas replaced common sense. The prevailing attitudeseems to be, “My mind’s made up – don’t confuseme with the facts.”

Who do you trust? Do you believe those whohave experience and a track record over severalgenerations of doing what is the best for the horsesin their care? Or, do you believe those that havemade up their own rules, even their own vocabulary,while ignoring anatomy and physiology, so they cansell their radical ideas and practices?

It comes down to making a choice. It’s wonder-ful to have the choice. But, with that choice goes theresponsibility for the welfare of your animal. It’s aquestion of stewardship and trust.

Of course, some horses can’t tolerate shoes.Some people can’t tolerate them either. I’m not oneof those. I want to get up and go again tomorrow.Yet,some people do fine without shoes. Does that meanthat all of us should go without shoes under all ter-rain conditions and in all kinds of weather?

Of course not – we must account for individualdifferences. One size does not fit all. We are not allthe same. Each horse is unique.That is why you needthe services of a well trained and experienced pro-fessional farrier to help you decide what is best foryour equine companion’s welfare.
