Don't know what else to work on then. I know the clenches are bad. The inside quarters are somewhat broken out so that's the gap you see. Boxed the shoe a lot there to lessen the chance of her stepping it off on that edge. Chose that shoe for support and ground the toe to hopefully get the foot gathered back up.
I suppose without riding with someone the fitting is going to be the hardest to figure out. Still trying on the clenching. The heels are covered though. Thanks for responding. I have to keep trying and it does help to know what is wrong.
The heels are covered though. Rotate your pic and have a look at your fit then look at your lateral heel
Kim, I am giving you unsolicited advice that I hope you will take. as I see it, you are really struggling on your shoeing, trimming, and finishing. It would be in your best interests, and of your clients; to join the AFA at this time, take the time to forge out their shoe board, study and take the Cert. test. this will help you on where your weaknesses are, and where you are strengths in shoeing are. it is very difficult to concentrate on this job; while being a mom. I know all to well; and how raising a child can disrupt your concentration on this career as a whole. I have done it; and have a 11 yr now and it is not easy. take it from me another woman farrier and single mom. does anyone else agree with me????................Linda
Get with some farriers that compete too. The more you learn about forging three more you'll learn about trimming feet, making them easy to fit and about fitting. I don't care what here have to say about it. . .it all goes hand in hand. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
yes, you need to get into more forging comps.....and also join the WCB and get to know some of the guys for that.
