and says farewell. If you’ve got a couple of days to read all this, good luck. It is a diatribe with glimpses of an apology to lackluster effort, a slight reference to theory being a hobby, a complete review of his life as navigated through self-worship, seasoned with his opinions on the industry. My guess is that he is retiring because the HSUS didn’t invite him to be on their new horse welfare advisory board.

I guess I am a fast reader less than a cup of coffee to read and digest.

I think you are way off base on your summary. My take away doesn’t come any where close to your curmudgeon take away.

There is far more I agree with then I don’t. IMO and experience he sums up things pretty concisely.

I have never completely “bought into” his Dosage but didn’t dismiss it either.

This hit home for me, I have struggled with it also. Much more so in the 15+ years since going back to the hands on side of horses and the business of.

Checked and it is up. If all else fails pm me your email and I will send it to you.

As an aside, it does appear that Roman ’ s work will be carried on by his UK associate Steve Miller. These links represents his take on the aged theory.
