I think the best eduaction a person can get is experience. I agree with the other farriers on this site when there is no one way to solve a problem. These people talking about all horses going barefotot is just, not reality. The ones saying this are not farriers and never trimmed a hoof. The best way to keep horses barefoot is to get one horse for each thing you do.
Nothing can replce teh good old fashionaed horseshoe.
