Do you know the parable of the Caucasian Chalk Circle? Bert Brecht has processed here is a classic Chinese theme to a modern play that has to tell us still more. Unforgettable is the Weigel in the title role is at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. Two women fight fiercely for a child. Not for his love, but for the right to consider it with that care, it can be grown. One of the women, the birth mother stops at the last consequence, the cutting of the child so that each get a half back, while the other, wrong mother, the violation of the child for selfish motives in your portfolio. Like the two competing for the child, women are the traditional teaching of the horseshoe and so-called alternative methods to the antipodes, which vie for the attention of the customer. The arguments presented here can be divided roughly into two categories as a thesis and antithesis. Technical assessments, we want to be in the first division ignored and respond to them later.
As supporters of the thesis, we find representatives the classical theory. There are usually farriers and veterinarians, the reasons for their view with the scientific study of the subject and not derive their established position. They are grouped primarily on the research institutes of the universities and their teaching forging. On the side of the antithesis to find together a number of people who see their positions as opposed to traditional teaching and derive precisely from this contrast, a substantial part of their argument. What you want to install is one, as Hans Freyer once called "lazy dialectic" by claiming that they represent the antithesis is already the perfect synthesis. However one looks behind the facade of their Arguments is that neither something new is offered, nor that it is a holistic approach.
Since we are dealing with such a theme with images and concepts in the broadest sense and philosophy, we want first of all clarify the concept itself. Philosophy is to obtain your own will to knowledge and to improve to be a sound way. It is not a closed process, but our life is forcing himself to continual reflection of the once learned. This is evident, particularly in the area of the horseshoe, which is subject to the continuing improvement of science and research, a gradual evolution. It is wrong to assume the farrier will merely wishes to make a fitting with iron, because he knows nothing or know how it is wrong to claim that the rejection of iron as hoof is particularly progressive. Both models are thought as half truths, only antitheses to existing theories that want to inherit from the respective other side. It is obvious that an anti-thesis is only the opposition but may represent a new level. The pacifist in this sense is nothing new, but he is only against war, which tends at the moment the shot, by its very existence is being observed by the other side. That is the situation today with the hubris that has developed around the classic horseshoe.
The allegations, which the blacksmiths are presented with vehemence, range from one end of the scale to the other end and do not shy away even from pure exaggeration. Is repeated often and the accusation that a man (Blacksmith), the horse would have been maltreated, or even the blacksmith's forging of passion and therefore unable to think of a hoof, is not made of iron. without realizing it, they get to the business of the "wrong mother." Even going into details is basically useless, and yet can find the following general information: In the old literature, mainly from Germany, have all praised today as a contemporary theories already , Read some more about what the general state of knowledge says a hundred years ago than we do today to admit you. Said C. Balussa written in 1828 and Christoph Bach de 1834 per a treatise on the human and animal stress-free fitting without penalty, as H. Möller was thinking in 1907 about new materials in the horseshoe, and published in a comment to the Examination Regulations for Hufbeschlagschmiede. The subsequent reception of these ideas in the early literature shows that this is already acting to traditional knowledge.
we see ourselves as a concrete example of the so-called Banana-iron from the U.S. to take a closer look. This particular shoe has been the occasion Hufbeschlagstagung a blacksmith at the Berlin study the experts and public. It combines a strong toes and traditional direction that will facilitate the movement of horses. This is to revolutionize the first look at an innovation which is the horseshoe. At second glance, a look in the archives of the horseshoe appears, however, that this iron was already in the thirties of the last century in Germany, tried and discarded. There are major problems revealed in the joints of horses, horse because the animal just does not stand still, but also moved in the state.
plastic fittings are also produced back in the 30s of last century in Germany and have applied. In that time, the plastic strain as the hoof, however, were not equal, so that they had to be dropped off. The fact there still remains and gives us a deep insight into the actual nature of the German traditional horseshoe. It was many years after the war, Mr. Dallmer take up the old thoughts and thanks to new technologies and materials that were now available to produce a hoofshoe, which can provide a comprehensive hoof. The combination of plastic and iron was also developed in Germany and very early already industrially produced. Here, too, shows how innovative the horseshoe in Germany understood.
seems the more incomprehensible, therefore, that today has become usual clamor of the one against the other. Unfortunately, only at first glance! For a closer look, we quickly realized that it is indeed almost always involve sophisticated advertising strategies of new products that open up to discredit the traditional methods for market share for its very nature, old traditions and experience in new garb now. The sold us as progress is therefore a step backwards, because he remains in the superficial knowledge of the border hang their own business. It is cheating the followers of the anti-thesis of the world cope with a trick by props from classical theory, processed Search and adapted as a completely new conceptual models to sell. But what makes the classic lesson of reality?
makes the classic doctrine of shoeing a comprehensive proposal for professional Hufzubereitung by - the horse is seen in his life including the human world as a whole, understood and assessed for shoeing - in our case. Again, as shoeing are all operations on the hoof understood, so the Barhufzubereitung, also known as affected by cutting, or Correct! It is expressly stated to be the traditional teaching, the environment in which the horse lives as well as his role as horse-breeding, or beast of burden in supporting the assessment involved and with the realities of the body (feeding condition, ratio of body to the hooves and limbs, the same position, etc.) condensed into a task for the blacksmith. No later than the last sentence should be clear what is in this text the term meant a whole. Many distinguished representatives of the classical theory correctly state the fact that a horseshoe can not meet when the horse does not understand as a whole. To that set the living being is a beloved comrade, like the flight animal. Both the horse are as a comrade and as a domesticated animal escape, thus fully taken into account in the assessment.
Something otherwise see the so-called new theories, the main representative of the classical theory as a completely wrong way of thinking and therefore refuse to propose something "completely new". This "new approach" but falls short because it separates the hoof from all other conditions and has therefore to consider stuck in vagueness. The hoof is a part of the body and the body is a part of the world. This means that all conditions are included in the assessment, giving us our (re) presents world. The "new theories" are aligned on the other hand, wishes and ideas and consequently transferred the so-conceived idea on the processing of the hooves. It will be professional Particular aspects, the list we want to avoid at this point. In short, you create new images and ideas without the traditional doctrine really understood to have or to do it at least. They reject the traditional teaching of the holistic-shoeing on purely economic grounds. I often feel in their argument to the penguin of the artist recalls Uli Stein, who with acidic mine the sign bearing the words "against" with the world.
is striking, furthermore, that it is the antithesis almost without exception theorems from the Anglo-Saxon countries involved are used to support this "new doctrine", that causes and mental models range but much deeper. To look behind the colorful facade can, we must let us help from the philosopher Emperor Marcus Aurelius. He pointed out that the simplification is that method that allows us to look behind things, to recognize their true nature. The modern debate is a manifestation of the intolerable time that no longer understands itself and can no longer recognize the essential. The battlefield is the horseshoe, the battle, however, another ...
