    Do you regularly wedge low heeled horses ?

    What do you do if the horse is broken back and you can't take any toe?

    The question I asked myself is how did the horse become broken back ? And is a wedge gonna help or make it worse ..

    Most horses I see that are broken back and thin soled .. I set the shoe back aggressively and support the frog/ back half of the foot ..

    Have you had any unable to take the pressure from setting the shoe back like that on a thin sole?

    I'm with Layne... leave the wedge pads in the truck... clean up the back half of the foot and a straight bar and fluffy can eat all the grass she wants;)

    She's not fluffy. lol Still trying to put some weight back on her, but gradually not pumping feed to her. She needs about another 100 lbs.

    50 lbs under weight is usually just right... how are you pulling your clips?

    I've seen some amazing vertical depth developed in just three cycles with that impression material. Will be interesting to see what it does for her, she's quite flat footed.
