    With good mecahnics and "other techniques" proper function and form will happen: if not. call a vaiblle, demonstrative vet. usually 3 sets to see results, Per the literature, "New Bolton", female researcher(can't recall song and verse). !" 10 days to two weeks will show application to be viable. If not; "Irreversabile lame.". not verifiable or can be scanned at this time. but holds some .........horse lame, 10 days later "100% sound" per vet clinical protocol. AAEP Standards. :whistle: ellwood 026.jpg

    He posted pics somewhere a couple years ago. You really don't need a pic to understand how he shoe's though. He thinks all angles can be corrected with leaving heel and trimming the toe shorter, doesn't like course nails, has problems with shoes staying on due to sharp corners on nail heads......

    David, Osmosis!!! That's the word I'm looking for. I wonder if removing or buffing away the outer horn throws the osmosis balance out of whack?

    Eric when I was taught to make a shoe for a horse. I was taught to dress the hoof. Then measure the size of the hoof calculating in the length of heel I wanted on the shoe . Then I measure how much wall thickness I have to work with & fuller & stamp accordingly. Only a dill makes all his shoes course & hopes its going to fit up & nail on a thin walled horse or pony. You Fuller width in your shoe should correspond to the wall thickness as should your nails. What do you do Eric make all your shoes course & hope for the best. Because if that's how you go about it. Then plain & simple your a Dill. I have a photo on this PC filed as Eric's NB. was saved by my brother for a rainy day . Care to share your protocol with that shoe fit . ?

    I know you're the only one who shoes TB's and every one of them has thin walls. Just because you trim the toe short enough that you need fine nails which won't hold a shoe on with a sharp corner on a nail head is no reason to get so defensive. This method seems to have worked for you over the years and when it doesn't work it's a mineral problem.

    Eric,how do you determine what size nail you use? Do you use more E heads than city or regular heads? and what is the average length in the toes of the horses you do?

    It is extremely relivant to a person who does not know the difference. I can't tell if you know or don't?
    I asked for erics opinion until he answers i don't want to talk about it............
    But you could get everybodys else's opinion?

    Chris,i am sorry you are right and its my fault,just because you have a good point What would be cool is to let everybody answer,then we could determine who knows the most about nail sizing. You can't argue over that one? I would of thought that anybody that learned to shoe horses would have learned that when they first came out of any school or worked for somebody who knew the difference? How did you learn the trade?
