    my success in wedging is always with aluminum shoes.......the steel with wedge pads; bar wedges will crush the heels further....and you only use wedges when needed, and take them off asap when possible....they are a good tool; but has it limits.

    Is there any chance Linda's posts can be put in moderation and reviewed before they are posted?

    Why? What is in the aluminum that doesn't crush heels? What is it about steel and plastic that will crush heels?

    I apply wedges to every horse on Tuesdays. Now you're suggesting only to use them when needed. I'll have to think about that one.


    You remind me of the person at a clinic who always has to raise there hand and proceed to tell the clinician how you did things one time.

    Right. The vet is the professional expert in charge of shoeing and you are the installation technician responsible for following their instructions. :cool:

    I can vouch that Linda doesn't always raise her hand before she interrupts the clinician.

    Well after all the fun and jokes, what are the advantages of wedged aluminum over pads with steel?

    Well, I know that the BUA says that metal shoes numb the foot so that a sore barefooter victim can trot off sound after the owner quits drinking the Kool Aid and gets the horse shod. Maybe aluminum has some extra numbness quality to it.

    Not if you provide supplemental frog support.

    A light bulb moment perchance?
