A friend of mine recently got her mare pin fired; when discussing it with another friend, he told me he was surpised, as most people have abandoned pin firing for cryo (freeze firing).
Yet someone else is adamantly telling me pin firing is illegal in the U.S.
I’ve driven pin fired STBs (they had already undergone the procedure when we got them), and am familiar with the actual process, but know very little about freeze firing. (I’ve also heard all the controversy about PF being cruel, so really don’t need to hear about that - I’m in the camp that doesn’t think it is)
My questions are:
-
What exactly is freeze firing
-
IYO, is freeze firing superior to pin firing, and why
-
Is pin firing illegal in the U.S.
I did Google, but unsurprisingly, found wildly varying answers :eek:
I trust COTHers more anyway…
