Deniox shoes

So in words whats the verdict Donnie

I believe if you look at the fetlock this horse has a significant rotational deformity, and the shoe was place purposefully like that to enable both heels to land at the same time. Nails are punched at different locations on the branch with significantly more fullering on the medial branch, it does not to my eye look like a misaligned shoe but one placed built and shaped atypically for a reason. I think we can give Gabino the benefit of the doubt here.

That is the shoe I have used on a few horses with good results

Hey, never knocking what he did or what he has in his hand at all...BUT if you see something like this, asking a question is not an attack on what was done. Just sayin.

where do you see the fetlock?

So in this instance, leaving the heel uncovered is OK? At a minimum would not a small onion heel or thumbprint have been a better option on that side?

Gary.I'm not feeling attack. Sorry if you understand that causeof my bad english.You can ask all that you want.

Ray are you drinking again

Gabino,
You say its not the heel, so, what is it?

I've had pictures come out like that, and it's where I cleaned up the commisures back to the bulb. Leaves a cleaned out area that on a 2d picture looks like the termination of the heel. Also I've notched hooked heels and it looks like that.

Judging by the bar, I bet they do hook in.

pics can make something look different, as long as the horse is sound, Gabino you got paid!, owners are happy, horse is happy
I am Happy

The bulbs and central sulcus is what is throwing me off I guess?

Well..if one of the frog branches is overcleaned it can look that the heel is more long,because the pic is plain,not tridimensional image. Nobody can get conclusive dates from a pic.Draw lines on the pic is easy,but a little change of the camera position can get left info.

There is more material in the toe because the shoe should be more wide in the toe than the branches.These shoe made in steel could be a crazy idea.

why would it be crazy ?

toe-weighted Arabian shoes are used all the time; and your gaited horses have a heavy toe.

ps I have padded up an Arabian with toe-weighted shoe on the fronts many years ago.

The shoe has 10 mm of tickness. These shoe made in iron would weigth about 700 gramos. Put these weigth in the hoof with desmitis of the suspensor isn't the best option.

yes; I know of the aluminum shoes you use; I like them. here in the states we use toe-weighted shoes on gaited horses and the Arabian show horse; and they are padded up and made out of steel.
I actually think I still have a left over shoe from Diamond when I was doing this 15 years ago.

Please tell me you didn't use a Diamond toe weight on an Arabian.
