Anybody still use 6mm toe rims?

Do most give a horse starting with little bit of sore shins complete pasture rest for 60 days, or work him through it?



In some eyes they are damned if they do (release data) and damned if they don't (evil hiding of data).

IMO, the more info out there, the better.
I fail to see the logic of your post?

So in your opinion releasing the data on a monthly basis by the KHRC is a good thing? Since they have no idea why it changes radically (and they are supposedly experts) what is the benefit? To confuse matters further?

The reality is that will do a study, find that the conclusions are the same as always (undetermined) and move on to do more studies. This puzzle has NO ANSWER!!! While research into horse health and soundness specifically is underfunded and greatly needed, what they are trying to do in tying all breakdowns together and finding a common cause is an impossible task.
