It's not mine.

Come on now this is how you learn to see stuff, there are 4 pretty obvious things, that could be fixed.

Ok, doesn't look symetrical, fullering is longer on the medial? side, seems off center, too straight after the quarter bend?

I can't see the nail holes. That's me giving it a shot. It's still better than my own, and I'm likely off base here on the critique.

The fullering is racked because the toe falls off to the lateral side, the fullering is blowed out on the medial side. The medial heel is knocked in to far. Should have been offset more, if all the above would be fixed the medial branch would come out longer than the lateral also would have put the start of my fullering in a better spot.

Fuller needs tuned up also.

Justin , was your shoe made at the horse for the hoof, or in the shop for a pattern? I only ask because it looks like it would nail up on some feet...something a patterned shoe actually will not ..for a hoof with..aah issues shall we say? My Mentor Al Pinson always drilled into us that each shoe of a pair should not line up with its mate..sure have found that to be true over the years..

It was made in the shop, kinda had a horse in mind and an old shoe laying there. Basically trying to get my measurements down going to try and make most of my bigger shoes this year.

I think if you ran you hammer down the medial branch you'd fix the blowout from your fullering and also increase the length in that branch a bit.

The fullering doesn't look like it's wide enough for an acceptable nail with that size shoe. I'd probably be fullering for a n E6.

I think it's nice shoe that could be fix up in one heat.

Justin, Cliped it and looks to me like it would nail up on the right front on more than a couple of the half draft hunt horses on my book. I have to fuller and punch for no bigger 6 slim blade or 5 XL. Think shelly TB walls on a 14" to 16" foot

I left the blowout to see if Kim would catch it.

The fullering is narrow but I think will be good for the horse I have in mind, he wears a 4 and I usually nail him up with an e4 then an e5 first reset. I have a Todd walker fuller they are a bit narrow.

Here's a pic the first nail is an lx 60, 2nd e5 slim, 3rd is an e4 slim

.

I did put a 1/2 in the toe, fits a #4 DF perfect.

Nice..

12" of 3/8x1.

And of course it posts it sideways.

At least you can post pic's...I still cant seem to get them off my phone to where I can post some here...?

NICE finish and nail line!!

If you really want something easy to use for pictures, get a cheap digital camera that you can just plug into a USB port on your computer and upload the pictures. I got my daughter one of these for Christmas and it rocks.

Also does video.

You could also text them to your email and save to computer that way. This new fangled phone saved my hide, though, being as my laptop ate dust a month before going to shoeing school last year so I was rather tech limited until a couple months ago, and texting photos to myself via email was about the only way I could figure out how to get them where I wanted them.

Yea Tom, I do need to get a camera cuz they do take better photos anyway...just got spoiled cuz I can post them straight to facebook where there are alot of Farriers that creep there and not here????

If their on faceboook you can save them to your computer from facebook then upload them here.

Oooook, I will check that option out...
