Another great save. You all are easy to listen to, and easy to understand! It’s just awesome that your foot work makes such a positive difference to the whole horse!
Side clips on everything has caused more hoof problems than any other factor. Simple front clip is always better. The bars are what pull the heels forward and removing them allows the heels to grow at the proper angle. Have fixed a lot of racehorses by just cutting the bars back to release the heels. 2/3 shoeings and the basal shadow is back to normal. Nice workshop.
I can see that if you're only going to use preformed proprietary shoes - you could have many a problem to cure. At one time every farrier - oh dear, what am I talking about! They were all Blacksmiths when I were a lad, I'd never heard the word until it came up when watching one of the Royal processions (two guys at the back of the cavalry carried pretty evil looking poleaxes which were used for historic put downs). So I'm used to my horse's shoemaker to provide bespoke purpose made shoes, knocked up from scratch in the forge. Fully fullered straight bar being cut to the right lengths. I can see your point about toe clips on rear hooves - but Man - it's weird eh? Totally agree with not "dumping" off any overhang of a badly fitted shoe ( any shoe) but rears are often prone to forming a shiplike prow - thought you'd made a great job of this horse's feet - very pretty! One reason I can relate to your explanation which includes (well, I assume if the shoe is called "The Eventer" that the horse might actually do a bit of Eventing?) - because I was once hit in the side of my head by one my own mare's rear shoes that she threw on an Event course - it was so long ago, it would have to have been filmed rather than video and not many folk here had cine cameras so I shall never know how it occurred - but I was very glad to be wearing a British riding hat.
@@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie Hmm, you seem to have missed "used for historic put downs" - any horse deemed to be to badly injured was killed with a poleaxe - though it seems rather barbaric to us, it was seen as more humane.
My horse want lame on his front left had the vet come out and did a nerve block and he want sound she said it was rear heel pain in the front right hoof they did x rays and it show ring bone on the front feet This came out of nowhere he was fine last Tuesday and Wednesday morning when letting him out of his stall he was really stiff & lame on the right front hoof. Hés getting front Shoes with quarter clips and pads Thursday really hoping this helps him
Excellent commentary on full hoof management. Thanks
