The infection had been in the hinds a lot longer than the front per client. As far as possible; over shoe, a size bigger in the case. The heel portion of the bar is rolled up around the heel bulbs to create pressure to deter "proud flesh" growth after debridement. An example of a hospital plate and rolled heel application is seen in Simon Curtis' recent publications. The app is a mixture of Redden, Parks, Curtis and my team.
One from today. Upper level dressage horse that will be starting driving training in a few weeks. She wears full wedge pads in front and wedges just on the heels of the hind shoes .
Justin looks like you ain't got about another week left in that strap on ur hind stand..or you frugal like me and got another setting on ready but you gonna get every pennys worth out of that one..
Mine looks like that, and has for a very long time. Course I don't use it that much, just on hinds on cripples and big-uns. Regards
Burned and nailed up. Floated lateral heel again. After viewing the pics think maybe try something different next tinge. . .possibly lateral support open heeled shoe. Heartbar isn't having the effect i thought it would. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Josh, I think that your heartbar might not be showing you the results that you hoped because your frog isn't able to successfully transfer the "load" up into the digital cushion and get it back in the game here because the steel plate itself is too stiff,(more protective than actually transferring the load). I have had better luck with getting these type of feet healthy by using a more flexible, passive style of support that enlists the sole's help as well. I might try a shoe like the KH comfort aluminum with a good frog support pad with magic cushion packed into the frog and the collateral sulci, covering that with impression material, then your pad and shoe. I find this can really jump start the back of the foot, the heels widen out, and the weight being shared by the sole lessens the load on the perimeter, helping the quality of the wall improve.... I might also try to get a bit more shoe behind the widest part of the foot and back from the toe......... FWIW, Dave
Thanks Dave. I see what you're getting at and that's why i had floated the lateral heel and made sure the frog plate was flat with the rest of the foot and frog. Thought about putting some equipak in but thought if have one more go with this. . . Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Drop the outside heel a bit you might get the results ya want. I do numerous ones that the outside heel is dropped over 3/8" of an inch. But I think outside the box and use rads.......and not "The Way"....
LAST ONE OF THE DAY NEW HORSE IT GOT DARK BUT WE KICKED ON AND GOT IT DONE FEET NOT GOOD SO MADE A PAIR OF BAR SHOES HE MEASURED 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 CUT 16 1/4 OF 7/8x 3/8 PUNCHED FOR AN E4 FEET WERE VERY LIGHT GAVE HIM A BIT MORE LENTH AS I THINK HE NEEDED IT
Looks like the typical "new hunt horse" that comes to me every fall. Quite often, when the feet get straightened out, the horse is not nearly so quiet or slow and steady. Then those horses get sold to a younger/bolder rider in the first flight; so it all works out in the end
