A client insisted on shoeing a horse with thin soles, I said no.

Putting shoes on unhealthy hooves does more harm than good.

Picture a horse with thin soles in shoes. That's asking for trouble and I'm shocked a client pushed for it. Thin soles mean the horse is already vulnerable, so adding shoes just makes it worse. You made the right call.

Shoes on thin soles? Genius move, client.

Victor's right, that client wanted a lame horse literally.

How does that even help the horse? Just sounds worse.
