Thanks for the effort

The OP apparently has access to databases which are simultaneously unavailable to the Great Unwashed, yet cutting edge and with a high impact factor.

[Texarkana]

The irony is the OP is knocking the use of 10-20 year old nutrition research when the reality is that’s about the pace at which any major advances happen in equine nutrition. This isn’t a field where there is a lot of continuous, cutting edge research because there isn’t that much funding. If she doesn’t believe this to be true, she can confirm my claim with the educated equine nutrition researcher who already addressed her question.

I also find it bizarre that one would turn to the horse care forum on the website of a magazine about horse shows in search of academic conversation. Surely one who possesses a terminal degree in medicine would realize there are better places to seek out conversations that exclude the opinions of lowly peons. :lol:

Never mind with all her knowledge, you would think she’d be chiming in on this forum instead of asking questions. Then again, she needs guidance on breaking tall boots in.

Never mind one would think with all her expertise she’d be chiming in on this forum. Instead she’s asking how tall boots are supposed to break in. I think it’s safe to say it’s best to not take her seriously. While she may have expertise in whatever subject she’s in, she’s very ignorant when it comes to all things horses.

Yes but horse sense is actually another name for common sense.

Maybe one could try softening boots with … vegetable oil.

I will add that my saddle guy said use olive oil not vegetable oil, on my saddles, but NOT on the girth straps he had put on.

@JB

Trying for the THIRD time to get something to stop going to the Unapproved hell:

LMAO! I never claimed cutting edge.

Several times I made a very specific point to say these are the latest.

And FINALLY, you’re right, yes, I absolutely DID claim my “references are the most up to date.”

Maybe you’re confusing “latest” with “new” :rolleyes:

I won a bet with myself. New saddle pad ordered.

On another note, given the info you are sharing is already 20 years old (actually based on citation sometimes 30 years old), it will be interesting to see what this forum is saying in another 10-20 years.

The info you have thus far presented is neither “latest”, nor “new.” The 20 year old text you link presents outdated info, suggests beginnings of updated info, and offers to sell you the latest text. The version you use as a source is informative historically, but certainly not current nor “latest” nor “new.”

The suggestion that horse nutrition has not changed in 30 years is incorrect.

It will be interesting to see how things change here, if they do.

Something else curious is the suggestion that this place might be a main or even sole source of information for some. Worrisome, but perhaps unsurprising.

:lol: What?

Do you have later and/or greater sources than JB? If so, perhaps you could share them to enlighten us plebs that are living in the dark.

[trubandloki]

@Fellbutbackup Why are you removing all of your original posts?

[JB]

@trubandloki

@Fellbutbackup Why are you removing all of your original posts?

Thankfully most of her comments have been quoted, so I’m not really sure what the point is :rolleyes: It’s really interesting though when someone decides to delete things :winkgrin:

On at least one other thread, that was not contentious at all, the original post was deleted and it was not quoted anywhere.

I am not sure the point.

[Texarkana]

A good way to receive extra attention on an internet forum is to change the titles of all your thread and delete all your posts. :lol:

sweet, I love getting new saddle pads! What was your bet? How many pages or comments you could get? How many times you could get people to run down a rabbit hole despite their better judgement? How many people asked questions?

i will always be on the front of the line waiting for new research :winkgrin:

I bet if you has asked nicely, some of us might have offered theories as to what researchers might find tomorrow

he info you have thus far presented is neither “latest”, nor “new.”

Ok, so show me newer research than what I listed. I’m all ears if there is any. Do you know the difference between latest and new?

The 20 year old text you link presents outdated info, suggests beginnings of updated info, and offers to sell you the latest text. The version you use as a source is informative historically, but certainly not current nor “latest” nor “new.”

I’ve listed research from several difference cites. Can you be more specific? And since you seem very certain that what I posted is not the latest, I would truly love to see what IS the latest.

The suggestion that horse nutrition has not changed in 30 years is incorrect.

You really don’t read for comprehension do you :rolleyes:

It will be interesting to see how things change here, if they do.

always

I’m sure you don’t think this place is worth anything at all, and that doesn’t bother me for a single second.

Could Fell be a reincarnation of Palm Beach?

The latter seemed to really have a real (and inexplicable) grudge against JB.

[bugsynskeeter]

Oh JB - you have the patience of a saint.

I’m still waiting for what this secret knowledge the OP has that the rest of us do not.

Definitely an alter/reincarnation of…someone.
