Kill pen horses from the Amish always have long feet like this. I bought a standardbred with borium tacked on his shoes. 9-10 months since his last shoeing. You did a good job! Nice rocker on those toes
As you already know I'm a Fan of your video methodology - having a shoeing plan, explaining what you see to start and what you intend to do about it, and why. So in this case, no mention of the glaring quarter crack left me waiting for some mention. Granted, One can only fix so many flaws at once, and often, the most appropriate fix for one flaw potentially worsens another, but as Farrier's watching Farrier vids, obvious issues left out leaves the Viewer disappointed. Great stuff for non-informed horse Owners, but even a mention of possible future attention, like fullering the lateral branch for more support under the crack, or even rasping a float under it, etc would cover the lack of mention. I do recall you did one vid where you focused on quarter crack treatment...wonder if it was this horse? All that said, your didactic explanations are creating quality vids that are enjoyed and appreciated.
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!
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 😀 😊
Thank you!
A very informative diagnosis. Thank you . Looking forward to see how her hoof changes on the next few trims.
Wow Good job, excellent diction, and vocabulary, great explanations, and a good show of love of what you do.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
You do a wonderful job explaining. Learning a lot!
Thank you!
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)

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