Yes, I put it in the wrong spot and decided to move it!
The hoof care: I've always loved horses and have owned one (sometimes two) most of my adult life. About six years ago I had a horse that started to go lame and I tried all the conventional treatments - specialised shoeing, operations, drugs etc. Nothing worked for long and eventually the vets said there was nothing more they could do. That led me to look for other solutions on the internet and I discovered that there was a German vet who was pioneering a somewhat controversial method that advocated specialised hoof trimming and a lifestyle as close as possible to that of a wild horse - a great deal of movement, no confinement in stables, no shoeing, mostly hard terrain, etc etc. I ended up taking a year-long course to become certified in the method. That's probably more than you really wanted to know...
