I was trying to widen them a bit, Mark, just curious to the effect the fuller may have on that. Not much effect and bad aesthetics finally if not done carefully, I prefer just putting a dent down the middle of the section with the cross pein if I need to widen the heels.
You dont have to fit flush with the wall for me i was just woundering why you left them sticking out from the wall
The fullering is too shallow to have a long term effect, a few miles on the road and the fullering will be worn away. You could try hammer boxing which will spread the section a slight amount enough to give you the extra support you are looking for. Failing that apply a heel extension if you revisit and found it to be insufficent. This is not a criticism, just trying to pass on helpful tips
...... I use my fuller to gain extension for heels and make wider... Imho just run ur fuller deeper christos
You're welcome, Mark, no worries about commenting anything you believe could be helpful. You are right, the fullering should have been deeper to have any useful effect. The shoe is a Mustad BM. A reset, the foolering thing was from the first attempt. This time I cut the toe clip and fitted the shoe a good bit back to see what effect it will have on the long toe and low heel, haven't tried this before and thought of giving it a go.
christos here is one from a bit back this is the way i got him and she said he was not that long shod you woudent think that in the pic
His heels were all over the shop just trimmed him up made a pair of concaves put iron were i thought it should be
One from today; owner showed up midway and stopped me because he has a guy that work on her every six weeks that's some kinda specialist. In what, I don't know. They're pretty damn long for being done at six weeks, and all the weight is on the lateral heels!
Another one from the same owner. Mrs. Brown was born with no foot. Tiny little half a thumb size protrusion of bone with a tiny bit of hoof wall growing out of the ankle joint. Any ideas on making her a prosthesis?
Thanks, Smitty, I'll try concave on him next cycle, I have two 14,5 inch pieces of 1/2 by 7/8, should fit him fine and also help get his flat soles a bit more off the ground. Will probably quarter clip him too.
I'm a bit confused Travis... Is they any after shots..or are you saying he stoped ya to get another farrier out.. I don't understand how that happens ..
I do all the horses except this one, apparently. He pulled up when I was halfway through the trim on the left fore. I was gonna remove as much as I could and use Superfast to wedge it. It was aggravating because I think I was gonna be able to bring her around.
