    It depends on the horse, it depends on the hoof, it depends on the use, it depends on the time left in the shoeing cycle. It depends on the soundness.

    You sure about that ?:) Any Inter Dominion runners ?. i would say i have shod as many as you have Jack. Then you wont have any trouble tell us the reason for measuring toe length in trotters & pacers then . What about hobble lengths with pacers care to elaborate ?& while your at it .How the hinds should be shod with certain horses to improve their gait. I'm all ears do tell.

    Give the owner a wallet biopsy, just to determine how bad it is.

    I love that the argument has shifted from hoof sanding in TBs to toe length in trotters and pacers to "I have a Harley".
    For the record, the 3 stooges have chimed in- right on cue!

    Pat,my example was not to make you think that i could be the only guy with a harley,my example was for you to think that a person who i work for gave it to me.

    Unless yours was given to you,there was no point to say you had one to,BIG DEAL Pat i love ya,but please read carefully or i could miss the point???

    I think "My client gave me a Harley" was the only answer you could come up with to my questions. I think that's funny! Perhaps you will answer George.

    George, This old farrier i know is 70 and shoes 20 or more horses a day everyday,he buys horseshoes out of state and fills a 6horse trailer full constantly and has never measured a foot in his life and does very little adjustment on the shoes 15 min a horse right out of the box,He is cutting all the other farriers throats at 110 per horse.And that says measureing is useless

    I think most farriers would agree that if the horse has matching pairs of limbs, then the toe lengths should match. I don't need to take a measurement to get that, nor do most skilled farriers I've worked with. I'm sure some folks have limitations in their proficiency and ought to measure everything, maybe even work under supervision - or find another occupation.

    There you have it- proof positive- if you don't measure toes you are a hack and if you do clients give you a Harley! That's all the proof I need!

    Tom,
    Unless a client has given you a Harley you should really keep your opinions to yourself. This is the ultimate measure of farrier greatness.....
