That old timer at the county fair made me stop using a hoof stand for every single trim

He watched me for a minute, then said 'You're building a crutch for your back and a barrier for the horse,' and now I only use it for corrective work on my toughest cases.

Reminds me of a buddy who used a hoof knife for everything. An old farrier saw him and just said 'you're fighting the horse, not helping it.' He switched to a rasp for most trims and said it changed the whole game.

My neighbor had the same exact thing happen with his draft horse.
