I get that sometimes when I do too many horses in a day. For me it's entrapment of the radial nerve. Basically, muscles and tendons get inflamed and put pressure on the nerve. I do a few really simple exercises every morning to help keep my arms in shape.
this is a kicking; pawing, rearing SOB; so keep the shoes on; I have to nail a lot; and I scatter my nailing to keep the white line from tearing up. I also do a 2 large nails [rn 4.5] then do a smaller nails [rn 3.5] in the foot at different times, too; and do a 2 high/2 low/1 medium.....this seems to work when you are overshoeing a horse in the summertime and in full race season; if you have a horse like this. Wintertime...we try a 6 nail approach with the SB4.5LX during training and off time. It has taken me over 5 shoeings to get this horse right........and now good to go.
Here, this is a 3 year old that came to me. to be fair he was 5 weeks into the shoe job. still no excuse for the long toes/no heels. I only have 1 shot to shoe him [I would have done more]; but owner wanted plain steel before leaving the farm; because, he was going to his new show home; and he new farrier will take over from there.
what I tried to do to help the horse. I wish it looked better, and wished I could have had a better angle; but it's only the 1st shoeing.
Well, I haven't learned to grind in heel checks. I'm sure it's not hard, Ive just never done it. Yes it was shod cold. Thanks, Jacob
