David i never had problems i remember the time every 2nd horse got them I think the problems are down to trim and fit in most cases
If it was just the ones I shod I would agree but Sam is well able to trim and fit and it happened the ones he shod as well but I suppose light tb feet.
When they choose to have an "Arabian Moment" in the cross ties when the sparks stop flying and the dust settles, it's amazing where the location of a burned clipped hind shoe can be.
would you beleive sam just rang me a minute ago and i ran it by him he said the sun must be getting to you
Cool, it's just that you put me down once (on this thread) for asking about shoe length and told me that the widest part of the frog was one's starting point for gauging shoe length. That one looks a bit short of the widest part of the frog. Could be camera angle, of course.
Gary this is the only other shot i have but for me this is how to shoe hunter he has ample cover if you would like to post that pic of your job if my memory serves me theh heels of your foot need taking down on top of short shoeing
Once I nail one up its clinched and any sharp edges are removed maybe its that or maybe its horse handling .not trying to argue just have not had it happen to me .whats left of the hoof wall when this occurs.
Ray, I once had to offer a barn owner the treat of an "ass kickin'" if he didn't stop running the weed eater down the side of the barn I was working in. Horse didn't like it either. I've had shoes shifted due to a spastic moment, usually not fully nailed up. Foot jerked away after a few nails set, but I don't use city head nails.
I am the king of running little kids off. Nothing scarier than the farrier giving them the what for. When i was real young My Grandpa was trying to do a young horse and these kids kept zooming by on four wheelers. About the third time the horse set back my grandpa came flying out from under that horse and somehow had the shaping hammer in his hand and threw it bouncing it off the fender of one causing the other kid to dodge the ricocheting hammer almost wrecking. They stopped with angry looks only to see my fat old grandpa screaming and running at them. Needless to say they sped off real fast. Haha. Just this Thursday a damn deer jumped out of a gorse bush sending an otherwise sane horse ape shit, I ended up in a ball holding my damn shoulder. The deer didn't seem to get my cursing or threats.
I see a lot of people useing what looks like a e head on hear? The most of the keg shoes avalible around hear are prichaled for a city .are you reprichaling them ? How tight do the heads seat when you do this? Why the preference for e heads ?
When dealing with horses murphys law will always apply,chit happens but IMO if horses spazzing out enough to shift a shoe is a regular occerence to some one then they seriously need to look at how they handle a horse or quit driving there nails backwords
