in some cases a short bar will cause as many problems as too longer frog piece

What have you exsperienced chris?

give me a day i have to word my response very carefully and i will probably pm you David

i asked of your exsperience

of what , horseshoeing ?

look back at the threads

I think the Late Burnie Chapman might disagree with you on that one, David. Perhaps this wide vs. narrow heart bar theory would be a good topic for a new thread.

John i think its a well known fact that barshoes are the most overused bit of metal applied to feet by uneducated horseshoeing people purely for financial gain

Do you think there is more profit in bar shoes, Chris?

Chris i can only tell you about my little exsperience
when i have applied bar shoes on feet that i thought warrant them
the horse improved

Not following you David.

the prices horseshoeing folk keep quoting on the net there must be

spot on John , the biggest problem is that "barshoes " per se are being applied willy nilly for the wrong reasons

There is also the trimming and fitting of bar shoes
ill fitted bar shoes are not going to do anything for the horse

you are better with words than me

I think where you guys are coming from is that you see bar shoes used often as a quick fix, where what the horse really needed was simply a good basic straight forward trimming and shoeing job.

basically YES , start quoting the very rare exceptions Tom
