Yeah, the mushroom trick is solid. I read a food blog that said to grate a carrot or zucchini into meatloaf or meatballs. It adds moisture and bulk, and the flavor just disappears into the meat. I tried it with taco meat once, using a grated carrot, and it worked way better than I thought it would.

Our old farrier just uses a block of wood and a marker, and his trims are perfect. That tech support guy is probably just reading from a script written by someone who has never touched a horse. You end up paying for all this data that just tells you what you already know by looking at the hoof. It feels like they make these things complicated on purpose so you keep calling them for help.

That's the core issue vera_campbell, a lie that big poisons trust forever.
