I've been working with horses for 50 years and never heard of C/S/R/F. Could you be more specific? Where did you come across this?

Please keep an eye on the dates - this is from October 2010 and person has never been back -

Not picking on you. I've done it, too. Answering old threads opens them up again.

My understanding (and I've ridden for years) is that it's C for catch, S for shoe, R for ride, W for worm - I'm not aware of "F."

I'm aware that horses are "sized" when it's English style as P/S, C/S, F/S, O/S.

Of course, OP hasn't been back so it's anybody's guess what he/she is asking about.

What a hoot! I've also never heard the "catch, shoe, ride, worm" thing. Do you mind my being questioner for a moment and asking what the context for that is?

I've seen it when a horse is being sold. It refers to whether or not the horse is "easy" to handle. I've also seen it on Vet's notes.

Is that what you are asking?

Thanks! Yes, I guess that puts it into context. As I said, I've never come across it in 50 years in the horse business. Very interesting!

If telepathy were real do you think it should be ignored or studied? The reason I ask this is because if it were real and most of us decided to ignore it then would some of the people that knew about it abuse it. If this were true I think That would be where schizophrenia originated.
