How to safely shoe a horse that is over due

I was told this horse suffered from a history of lameness, so my approach was very conservative. While getting to know how her feet grow over the next few shoeings I’m expecting to see a better finished product in the future. Follow our progress while we try and create a stronger more correct hoof capsule. Thanks for watching!

A very informative diagnosis. Thank you . Looking forward to see how her hoof changes on the next few trims.

I love your t technique and your way of doing, I watch a lot of farrier video stuff and you are one of my favorites, keep them coming 😀 😊

I appreciate the commentary a lot! I work on some horses long overdue also.

Awesome vid! Can you come off the toe with your shoe and still have a leading edge in the shape? (Match the coronary band)

[@thewesternstatesfarrier]

Yes, my goal is to always match the coronary band with the leading edge of the shoe shape, but the more I want to “set my shoe back” the more broad the toe of my shoe needs to be in order to drive nails safely. Thanks for the great question!

Good job 👍 would a rocker toe shoe would be as effective as setting the shoe back?

[@thewesternstatesfarrier]

I’m more comfortable setting the shoe back, but I do use rocker toes when I have enough depth in the foot. Thanks for the comment!
