A couple from today. I reckon this one is going to be a challenge when it's shod a month or two down the line... Pair of Cottam XL on a cob
I always nail on a shoe and then clench it up straight away. Then I know that foot is finished with and i can move on to the rest then Thank you Marc, dad was pretty pleased with it too, got the foot back and looking strong. Thanks rick, should of got some better photos of the hinds job, he mare hasn't got the greatest of feet and conformation
It's a polo pony and the damage is on the medial side of the hoof, so I'm guessing that it had a tread or brushing injury to the coronary band toward the end of last season.
Reset on the resection. Used dremel to clean up more. Owner was very happy last time, reported horse moved much better and even played in the field. Horse hates the nailing, not just this foot. Actually kicked out three times. He was bad last time as well. Seems to react worse once I drive to the shoe. As in I can drive the nail ok, but kicks once I seat it. In the beginning kicked as soon as I started nailing, but responded to correction somewhat. Lol No issues clenching.
One I've been doing. Went with a smaller section. Had being burning back too much so made sure to keep it forward a bit. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Josh i think 3/4 x 7 /16 looks better than the 7/8 x 3/8 i prefer your near hind job for it is more balanced on the foot it has better heel lenth and the nail placement is better nice goin
Would have to agree on all accounts Smitty. Anything else you want to pick on about it? I don't recall it on the off but the lateral quarter on the near is really straight and not pleasant to the eye. . .thinking may put a reverse check on next time and fit it differently.

Dang, Gary it looks like you could have used a saw to trim that one and not bothered to pull the shoes first.
Not to bad but it only has half a frog on that foot anyways! I thought it was a pretty good clue that my shoe was working after the foot stay where it should. That's the horse that I have posted several times with the medial wedged shoe.
18 weeks! It's a shame that when you are trying to fix their horse, they don't try to make it a little easier for you by having him done a bit more often...
