Have you ever had one?  I'm not saying they don't exist, Ruth. I'm
saying that horse traders say they are very common when in reality
they seem to be not very common.  I've had 100 horses in and out and
none have ever had one.  I talked to several big time horse sellers
and they never had one either, and a vet who agreed it's not very
common.  Pretty sure that's all I was saying.

What's woo woo about saying I don't think stone bruises are as common
as some horse trader types will have you believe?

Do you have peer reviewed literature sup****ting your trainer?  Your
saddle?  Your choice of treats?  Your bug spray?  No, of course not.
You use what you use because you like it and see that it works.  My
horses are barefoot because I like it and I see that it works.
