    Sadly, I would get more likes for that than the hooves I shoe.

    So a deeper bar being better? I'd heard that Darlow had put these on feet after having a bunch from practicing for a contest and no good luck with them, granted I don't know what type of feet they were applied to. Would like to see pics when you go back and reset, if you think of it.

    However, my question of the day is how do I address cracks in the foot like the right on here has? The X there is remnant of somebody prior before I started shoeing her.

    They are, perhaps not enough. Guess I'll get heavier on the rasping. I will admit sometimes I don't do enough when making them at the horse.

    Resection is your best bet. I've had a couple grow out with just getting the foot gathered up. Ones like what you have stem from the already weak spot in the toe, let them get long/flared and the leverage will just pry it open.

    skunk Josh covered the crack question
    i probley would have cut a tad less iron

    ran your inside up and fit the heel
    or with what you had the shoe needs to come more
    to the inside then your outside would not look long
    and your inside would be covered

    also your clenches are wind swept
    try clenching them square

    Josh when you say resect could you be a bit more specific. Certaily I would debride any necrosis but If the word resect is the same on your side of the pond as ours them what would that achieve?

    May be different uses of the word or I might be off in my understanding of it. Clean out the entire crack and explore all tracts till you get to good laminar connection.

    Debriding is a term I've understood to be dealing with cleaning to good tissue on a wound.
