| While I was there the ferrier was out and we did 130 head, trimed, shots a 12 castrations and worming. We started at 9:30am went till 5:30pm and we were done. We ran all the horses through a chute into a tipping table. Average horse took 10 minutes and these are big warmbloods. Was a very interesting day. | |

| I would say they needed a problem horse demo! How would you ever put basic training on 300 head? Cripes! | |

| When one has this many horses it changes ones perspective of what is the norm. If you have that many horses, there are only so many hours in a day. These good folks also sold broke and rode $300,000 horse to the US alone in the last 5 years, not including Canada. | |
