    I am looking for a hind concave, safe toe, safe medial branch, Quarter clipped, I want to see the shoe boxed with 1/8 in (or dimes width on edge) flat showing from last nail hole back through the heels. Use the number of nails you feel is needed. I would like the toe fit not set back.


    Solar view, Lateral view, and one from the back with the horse standing so I can get a good view of how the heels are fit, and also one from the front.

    Clip the shoes however you like. 20150506_091413.jpg 20150506_091419.jpg

    No. I figured most guys would have a go on a pair of feet and pick the one they like the best to enter.

    I apologize for the nailing and clinches but I was racing a rain storm and the first drops were falling. I should have brought the heel in or boxed the lateral branch a bit more. So if your job is boxed like mine I am happy. Extra points if you nail it. 20150506_171821.jpg 20150506_171741.jpg 20150506_171830.jpg 20150506_171749.jpg

    Yes. Although the more I look at my photos the more I want to delete them and try again.

    I think second guessing is part of this job.

    Nailing on the inside. Clinches, Lateral heel fit. They could have all been better.

    I'm sure if I look again I could find more things. But those are the top three that I see when I look at th photos.

    Yes it does. However, when posting an example for folks like yourself and others on here I want to put my best foot forward! So to speak.
