    If you can't view the site when logged out it's on your end and you might need to flush your dns.

    If you can't view it while you're logged in it's on Ray's end.

    Been on the phone with Hughes Net. It's something on their end. I can only access this site if I have their "turbopage" disabled. Weird. They are going to get Tech support to call back after looking into it.

    Kim think ground side of the shoe..I think Eric is gettin at if you sat the shoes flat on a table you have hammerd the thickness of the shoe to spread put thus causing the heels to be in the air so therfore the heel will drop lower just to make contact before the float will ever start to work...so the horse is starting out with being broke back..

    This is what I did. I only forged the blue area. The outside is still thick. That's why I was getting confused.

    Kim just so you know what proud stamped means. The stamp leaves an impression the full length in the pitch of the fuller & a slight imprecation in the medial of the fuller. so all four corners of the nail head are locked in. Keeping the nail head from being dragged sideways in the fuller & the fuller acting like a cam providing leverage in lifting the nail & the clinch. uploadfromtaptalk1340044200418.jpg

    See previous post. I forged the blue area, which is on the foot side.

    Why would you hammer the ground surface? Or is that for protecting corns?

    Well I guess I don't know then...looking at the pic the sand is on every part of the shoe except the forged part so it looked to me like it was hammered from ground side..good job then as Eric said..and I guess I could never ever thing of a reason one would need to hammer from ground side...

    You keep mentioning cookies; is that a cultural divide thing? I'm not getting it.
