    I asked because in my experience plastic pads are harder on the heels than leather they also,plastic,in my opinion, sweat,keeping a moist , humid environment under them, not something that you want if there is any thrush and or fungus going on.

    in my opinion , you need to get that frog engaged in supporting that hoof, i say that because as the hoof spreads from the frog pressure and it s release the blood flow will increase ,feeding the entire hoof. I noticed that 1.5 to 2 inches below the hairline the hoof wall appears scaly, chalky which would say to me that the entire hoof is being compromised.

    i agree Ray, frog support is important on this foot. i would go so far as making the horse bare foot so the heels drop down in line with the frog, after thats happened , throw a heartbar on it.

    yes,i know its old. but i figure its still good to discuss these issues. i was on the old horseshoes forum and i miss the long discussions on things. these days i don,t know of any active farrier forums, do you know of any, i understand if not.

    I ve kept this site going because I know a few folk still come to read the past comments, I might suggest “Farrier to Farrier” Facebook, while a different format still farrier chatter.
