Everyday Shoeing

good work Alex

Which of the two foot jobs did you prefer the off hind Alex?

Probably prefer the hind right, but on the whole I'm pleased with the pair of them

Alex, Nice job, but how did you get the horse to stick to the wall like that?

cheers tom, used vet tec, he stuck to that wall well then

A quick job I did yesterday whilst dad was away for the day, brood mare that's come back into work, very overgrown feet, as you can see the nails still in the feet where it had been turned out with the shoes still on to loose, also removed a nice chunk from the medial heel quarter.

Alex,what about these rings in the hoof wall. Do you know the cause? Why in rigth hand only?

Doing good Alex. Do you dress the wall down prior to fitting or when you're clinching?

I say it's from being out in the field for 4-5 months not seeing a farrier and web history from being a brood mare.

Josh I sometimes forward dress before I trim down, means I can restore symmetry easier and I find less to come off the bottom also. Makes it easier to fit to and nail and finish also

Hell I'd put in for early retirement with stipulation of getting a percentage.

Alex should be worth more than that , typical tight old man

Those are some good percentages. Might be a tough sell to your soon though

Job from today, made these for this mare, 12 1/2 inches of 7/8 3/8 quarter clips

A different horse, again 12 1/2 inches 7/8 3/8 hinds for a hunter

Dont let your dad know you put side clips on, he hates them!!! Personally I love the job you did there, well done!

Nice work, Alex. Second horse looks to have a negative plane coffin bone.

Nice work Alex.
I'm just curious though, how come you nailed on clenched up and finished on one foot and not the other?
