    Nicely done. Is the bar jump welded in?

    Why is there a crease on just one side?

    You're up to No Good again! Do you have the "Soap Opera Haze" setting selected on your camera?:)

    Excellent job. its a way of keeping the section thinner (preventer means preventing limb interference) and equaling the weight with the wider creased side.

    So the weight on both sides of the foot is equal and the coping of the ground to sole surface is just reversed? Is this how the weight and height of each branch is kept equal in this shoe? ANd you did all that with a bar and a toe clip? You are a master!!!!!

    Oh - 'nother question. Is there more expansion of the shoe on the lateral heel? Does this work like a trailer would?

    They say he's a dressage horse. All I've seen him do is sprints along the fence line. I just filled in for my brother for this one time. Nobody had any good info for me. Horse was lame. They injected the coffin joint 2 months ago and he went sound. Lands heavy on lateral and rolls in. Lateral wall is more vertical than medial. The shoe that was on was a classic roller to allow the foot to continue to roll. Horse has become lame recently and owner isn't looking to get mri.

    Spoke to vet, naturally she wanted a barshoe. I figured since the horse was going lame so shortly after the injection I'd switch the shoeing up.

    I gave her a barshoe and reversed the shoeing to add support laterally. The horse is landing fairly flat now. Time will tell if this makes him more comfortable or worse.


    Thanks! Yeah I just jumped it in. Jumping in the weld was the easiest way I could think of to make it.

    The shoe is flush with the wall on the medial from toe to heel. There is lateral extension from the toe to the heel. I forget how much I hung out on the heel but it's probably around 3/8" gradually getting less towards the toe.

    They rode this horse after I shod it and said it was fairly lame at the trot.

    Yeah but it was lame before you shod it too... And if DIPJ injections are only lasting 30-60 days, this horse has bigger problems that you or anyone else is going to fix simply by shoeing it. Do they have current rads? If not, shame on them and personally I wouldn't touch him again without better diagnostics being done first. ymmv
