toe exstensions

Have to do some exstensions on foal next week
do many of you get to do exstensions?

I do quite a few after surgeries

Last few times david I made a toe exstension shoe out of aluminium
and glued on it seemed to work well

why ali ? plywood is cheaper and easier

Donnie:
What caused the need for the foal extensions? Selenium deficiency?

I've done both Vettec (babies/small yearlings)and shoes (bigger colts/feet).

Plywood or plastic (cutting board) is good idea as well though I've not used it.

I would say an alum. shoe would be the best though, only because I really like looking at Smittys shoes/shoeing.

I'm pretty sure it qualifies as "farrier porn".

I've done the Vettec super fast thing before, works great. Have also done the alum thing. I get enough flat plate at a work shop for free, can't get much cheaper than that.

Rob - that is a long 3 year old not a foal

Got to put on those toe exstension shoes on today

Thanks david

Very nice as usual Smitty.
