I just read the article about the TWH in HI, issue August 2008. I have to say I am very disappointed in the article. It was like reading a show planner rather than a description of the breed. I am usually impressed by the main breed article of each issue. This time, however, there is absolutely no information about the history of the breed, any explanation of their natural gaits, their original uses, their conformation, height, or colours. Another glaring omission are the controversial, and in my opinion cruel, practices of cutting and setting the tail and soring, and using uneven shoes and chains to exaggerate their front stepping action. I noticed that none of the photos show any set tails or high steps as though they didn't exist. This is a problem of which everyone should be aware so that a stop can be put to it. I'm not saying that the article should have been about that but it should have been mentioned and it should have been about the actual breed and not about where to show. Keep up the good work!
