This is to funny. Here it is 2 years later and I come across this long forgotten string. I only skimmed through it but here it is. No Pin firing for tendons and besides they do a cross fire not a pin when they do a tendon. I would most certainly agree that's not the thing to do for a tendon. Besides, you English folks should know the only one that was ever any good with a bow was Robin Hood
As for a lot of studies such as the one mentioned in here by someone, "This year the white of the egg is no good for you and next year it's the yoke". Pin fire shins or for a larger percentage horses you are wasting your time. There are some techniques that have been used for years that still have no good substitutes for them, despite all the advancements in medicine. As for the comment regarding 15 months and 15 weeks, if you can get them back in 15 weeks without any further damage to the horse, why wait the 15 months. Unless of course you like to make your owner/client pay a day rate that they shouldn't be burdened with. In a recent article that can be found in a U.S.A magazine publication called Trainer they discussed a form of training to try and avoid bucked shins. Apparently they did a study. Funny thing is, all they discovered was a training method that has been practiced here in the states for decades by prominent and not so prominent trainers. Anyways, I respect what ever it is you all think or believe. But until you have actually tried it every way possible, don't knock it.
Sometimes the simplest thing can make all the difference.
