David, that is class...especially for a 16 year old. Tell him, great job!
Tom, I suppose this is a subliminal reference to my lack of understanding of the phrase "pull a bird"...if this was an effort to clarify or give...
Scroll tongs made from 1/2" x 1". Started with 11" and wound up cutting about 5" off as it was far too much material. Not really a farrier...
David, So basically the spiral shoe is like this side bone shoe, except that the taper comes back up a little on the lateral heel? Is the shoe...
I removed as much flare as I felt confident to take...dressing is flare is thinning the wall, is it not? Fit the shoe to where I thought it would...
[ATTACH] This wall was dressed then rounded at the toe. You think that was over done to the point of compromising the integrity? Agreed....
This one has a bit of that as well. :)
What do you mean by this? The medial toe is where the displacement is according to the white line. If I fit the dorsal wall there...
Thanks! I just hope my thoughts and efforts wind up doing the horse a favor...and that we all may learn something from each other with the...
Tom, if I trimmed this foot more along the sole plane, and if this were a LF instead of a RF, it would probably drop right on that foot...and...
Gary, After looking at it a bit more, the lateral side is doing the same thing. Which is now leaning me back more toward pressure being a causative...

Umm...remember post #4?
Part 5 - Last but not least, the shot down the leg. If a T square were used, this one would be high on the lateral side. Foot depth was certainly...
Part 5 - When I put the foot down, the horse just stood with it out in front like this long enough for me to get these shots. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Part 4 - I rockered the toe off to the lateral side where I thought it corresponded with what the last shoes and foot where showing. (Tried to shine...
Part 3 - I took a Sharpie and traced over three of the rings as best I could. Growth rings show a slight bit of more rapid wall movement on the...
[ATTACH] Forgot to add this shot looking down the leg. It shows a little better shot of the bulge behind the coronary band, just over the crack.
Forgot to add that I told them this very thing today. She already has a call in to the vet and I will post those, good or bad, when I get them. I...
Part 2 - In effort to try to determine approximately where the GRF vector was in this foot, I did a little mapping. The old shoes were heavily worn...
