Thanks so much for the reply. When this right hind hoof you are shoeing is viewed in the rearward horseshoers position, it is easy to spot the high medial aspect and a foot like this is very nearly to the point of developing “sheared heels”When you compare the heights of the heel bulbs, the high medial aspect is causing the outside flaring. For give me if you feel this observation is seeming like only criticism! I hope everyone is in this shoeing and information sharing simply to help our friends the horses! Bergy

Are you positive and progressive minded and open to the possibility that the totally unnatural medial lateral balance in this right hind foot is causing the abnormal flare on the outside branch?

@hooftalk1 I do believe there are a number of variables moving down the limb that change the medial/lateral balance on all feet causing distortion in the capsule throughout the shoeing interval, particularly hind feet. The way horse moves/carries themselves will influence the growth of feet as well causing excessive medial/lateral imbalances throughout the shoeing cycle resulting in a flare.
