    I believe if you look at the fetlock this horse has a significant rotational deformity, and the shoe was place purposefully like that to enable both heels to land at the same time. Nails are punched at different locations on the branch with significantly more fullering on the medial branch, it does not to my eye look like a misaligned shoe but one placed built and shaped atypically for a reason. I think we can give Gabino the benefit of the doubt here.

    Hey, never knocking what he did or what he has in his hand at all...BUT if you see something like this, asking a question is not an attack on what was done. Just sayin.

    where do you see the fetlock?
    So in this instance, leaving the heel uncovered is OK? At a minimum would not a small onion heel or thumbprint have been a better option on that side?

    Gambino,

    to me, if the horse is going better or what you have done is working, i couldn t care if the shoe was sittin sideways and upside down, what is the reason,plan etc. for so much material in the toe of the shoe?

    as for your bad English, i ll bet you a pint that your bad English is a better effort than my good Spanish! Thanks for posting.

    I've had pictures come out like that, and it's where I cleaned up the commisures back to the bulb. Leaves a cleaned out area that on a 2d picture looks like the termination of the heel. Also I've notched hooked heels and it looks like that.

    Judging by the bar, I bet they do hook in.

    Well..if one of the frog branches is overcleaned it can look that the heel is more long,because the pic is plain,not tridimensional image. Nobody can get conclusive dates from a pic.Draw lines on the pic is easy,but a little change of the camera position can get left info.

    There is more material in the toe because the shoe should be more wide in the toe than the branches.These shoe made in steel could be a crazy idea.

    toe-weighted Arabian shoes are used all the time; and your gaited horses have a heavy toe.

    The shoe has 10 mm of tickness. These shoe made in iron would weigth about 700 gramos. Put these weigth in the hoof with desmitis of the suspensor isn't the best option.

    yes; I know of the aluminum shoes you use; I like them. here in the states we use toe-weighted shoes on gaited horses and the Arabian show horse; and they are padded up and made out of steel.
    I actually think I still have a left over shoe from Diamond when I was doing this 15 years ago.

    Please tell me you didn't use a Diamond toe weight on an Arabian.
