He stopped you midway through so another Farrier could finish?
Shoes are generally applied when wear exceeds growth. When a shoe is attached to the foot growth exceeds wear. I'm not sure why this is difficult...
It all has to do with weight bearing and levers. Do you feel the bulbs would flatten out and heels crush if wear to growth was balanced?
That's describing an upright pastern, ie, broken back. The coffin bone is at a lower angle and the pastern is raised unloading the heels causing...

If you have rules that you must fit to the toe and/or only use a wedge pad or shoe then I would agree that you will make matters worse. It's not...

I believe most horses trimmed down to the widest part of the frog are trimmed to low and set the foot up to crush heels. Especially when the toe is...
I don't care what I have under my name. I haven't viewed pm's in a few days. If I look at them and decide to respond I'm sure you'll be notified....

Ray steel is in charge of everything. J really don't know who's moderating.
I agree this forum is going down hill quick.
It is what it is smitty. I already dedicate almost an entire heat just to get a1/2 inch into the toe. It wouldn't make sense to dedicate an entire...
I cut a lot of corners when I make shoes in my truck. Most of my swing goes into making my truck bounce up and down. And my anvil is a foot away from...
