No, of course we can't. But there are other options available:.....: could you please go more into depth on this statement..examples would be great..or pics....
Top class as always John! Id have just told her thats why they invented stud holes, but ya know im allergic to shoe making.
How much extra for C/W wedges is that your question? its no big deal making a pair i never give it a thought giving them what they ask for if i can do it i will give it a go
Hey Tom; I can answer that; 3 years as a equine vet tech. When you inject the needle; and the horse moves; the needle should it move or break inside the coffin joint; it can detrimentally ruin the horse; leaving no exception but to destroy the horse.
Jaye i have memories as an App having to make 16 + pair of hind C/W a day my boss would say dont make fronts i can bye them
In the 1990's it was around $60 per joint; was up to $100 per joint 2000's; now I am not sure; one of my racing trainers said it up to $400 for the inject tendon, and joints.
Last time I checked the coffin joint is inside the horse's foot which is a log way from its head. And if the horse is standing on that foot it can shake it's head pretty good without moving the foot.
Wrong. Got rads of broken needles in joints in which horses are competing now. Like I said, " BS for ineptness". Also, as I stated, "Probie".....
I'm still waiting for an explanation about how a horse shaking its head has an affect on a needle doing a coffin joint injection.
Steve, this is why I asked the question. My bold for emphasis. I was hoping that Kari would offer an explanation and perhaps educate me by putting the statement in some context relevant to the anatomy of a horse. Otherwise I could just take the statement at face value, in which case it sounds pretty ignorant.
Thanks Tom I was lost for awhile, may I hazard a guess that Kari was concerned about contamination of the joint leading to infection which snowballs and ultimately leads to euthanasia. This is always a possible worse case scenario.
Yep Steve, there is no Drama in the customary and usual. There in lies misconceptions of "maintenance" due a horse that "works" for a living.
