I did come at it with a chisel. I did not have a flap wheel so I used a cutting disc. Definitely not a smooth finish
Call me cheap and broke. lol Actually not broke, but money is tight. So I have been trying to squeeze every last drop.
Kim here are some pics of a foot job to day done between the two young lads alot of faults not perfect but there moving in the right direction frog trim dressed ,shoe-making and fit by the 3rd year the lad that is with me 3 months or so finished the trim, nailed on and finished if you scroll down the foot before the trim dont know why its down there Kim i hope this might give you an idea these lads have along way to go but with a bit of effort and luck they might make somthing This horse is at 14 weeks
Travis what is the time scale between these pics? Excellent job, its not often when you have a buckled lateral cartilage ( or thats what it looks like) straighten up and the capsule has resumed its correct form.
Smitty, that cleaned up nice. I'm still trying to learn how much to dress. I've over dressed them and under dressed them. I've not hit my two year mark. I feel I'm doing good and bad at the same time. Just trying to move forward.
It's a constant learning curve Kim. Getting involved with the AFA, certification, and good hands like John Scruggs will make all the difference. Getting proficient at this trade takes sacrifices and lots of time under horses and in the fire. Those sacrifices can be tough but will pay huge dividends down the road.

Allows you to see burn mark of how shoe Is fit, 2 well mated surfaces, kills bacteria. I know guys that lovely feet even on the ones they don't burn, but their trim is right, nails on the whiteline, and they do a damn good job of getting feet flat and shoes flat.

I think it should be a forum requirement for anyone to give advice they should have to show there work. Linda your the only one who we haven't seen any work out of. Quit telling Kim how to do it if you can't show her how you do it.
Thanks Josh. That was the point I was trying to convey to Linda. The benefits don't deminish just because it's a reset.
Kim, I feel the exact same way, every single day that I go to work. When you start thinking that everything you are doing is good, this is the point where you are not going forward...and probably not doing as well as you think you are. I know this from experience. As long as we realize that we are not 'there', we tend to get better. Keep at it.
