Anyway I've had some good success and when I started followed some not too good methods. But the proof is in the pudding, and I've always gone back to the drawing board to keep learning.<br /><br />Anyway I wanted to experiment with equicasts Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-35505859155069296302010-07-02T22:27:35.909-04:002010-07-02T22:27:35.909-04:00Stacey

You are right, the real shame is any of the good information and work he does or teaches others to do is wrecked by his phoney PHD - my bringing it up to him was our end. I just can't be mixed up with someone like that. So sad.<br />On an up note, there are lots of great barefoot teachers and trimmers out there who don't insist there is Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-36393784894066619732010-07-01T10:53:04.593-04:002010-07-01T10:53:04.593-04:00Sierra, Isn't it a shame?

PhDs have value in many professions, but claiming to have one that's "fake" just wrecks an otherwise good reputation.Stacey Kimmel-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498926535389535263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-54495134095867102282010-07-01T10:40:42.977-04:002010-07-01T10:40:42.977-04:00Totally agreed....anyone who falsifies their "...Totally agreed....anyone who falsifies their "credentials" should be avoided. Nice work digging that up! On the other hand, I have to say that I am familiar with LaPierre (I live in FL) and he actually does nice work. But so do a lot of other local farriers that aren't promoting a "philosophy" that requires you become certified, purchase their tools, etc. etc.Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629508898138858413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-80269777464107349932010-07-01T04:50:36.168-04:002010-07-01T04:50:36.168-04:00I have had dealings with an Equine Podiatrist when...I have had dealings with an Equine Podiatrist when I had my gaited mare a couple of years back. She was very knowledgeable about proper angles and bearing weight correctly. <br /><br />She was even able to correct partially in overgrown hind hoof for us, with a warning that there had been an abscess in the foot and that the horse if not properly handled would pull up lame.

It is instructive overall. His book (um, the name evades me at the moment) is a bit convoluted. Then he really took off on the self-promotion highway.
