    Thanks for the help. I have already mentioned that it probably wasn't going to be cheap. http://www.soundhorse.com/seriesiiihorseshoes.htm
    This link is to the product I was thinking on useing. I also like your idea of building a shoe out of super fast.

    Those might work but I would probably still try building a super fast shoe first. The kits they are advertising would be a little high for something to just try. How much experience do you have with acrylics?

    Everything has to be CLEAN. Use only denatured alcohol as a cleaner. It is very important to dry the hoof with a heat gun immediately before applying the acrylic.

    I dont think they make a sigafoos big enough for a draft. I just sand the foot and glue it on. If you have three points of contact you have enough foot to nail a shoe on.

    I was going to suggest the same thing. Use acrylic to build a mound around the baseof the hoove's and shape it like a shoe. it will adhere if you clean everything as instructed.
    ALSO not every wall separation is WL..... Drafts are big and heavy and if the foot isn't trimmed regularly it will grow and then splay out and the the force of the weight with each step will tear the outer wall from the sole area causing gaps, in which dirt and debri settles and also adds to the widening of the separation.
    Clean off the wall where the gap is, even if you go past the pigment. Just be sure when you trim to leave solid heels and toe pillars so the foot has support if left bare foot. Your not going to get rid of gaps until the wall is trimmed down to solid laminae and then grows down as a solid unit. If you don't and you leave a gap, you will always have a gap.
    my 2 cents worth :)
