Seeds for anything rare or trendy? Hard pass. Too easy to fake and you wait months to find out. Cuttings or nothing, at least you see what you're getting.

Oh wow, this hits home for me. I had no idea I was supposed to be sharpening that often, and now I'm sitting here wondering how many hooves I've been crushing for years without even knowing it. The part about babying the good pair really gets me because that is exactly what I do, I save them for the nice horses and let the old pair do the dirty work way past when they should. Hearing that a 30 year vet said this makes me feel a lot better about being late to the party on it. Guess I'm digging out the sharpener this weekend.
