I got a lot out of this video. I learned how to put shoe's on horse a long time ago. You have it down to a science.

this foot looks unbalanced to me. it looks like there is stretching of the white line and sole on the outside quarters.

[@judymiller5154]

why would you want the coffin bone to be "nice and flat to the ground" when typical, sound hooves have the rear coffin bone raised 3-5° and many/most navicular horses have flat to negative angles?

[@codyovnicek3736]

The flat-to-the-ground reference was for side-to-side (medial/lateral) balance. The anterior/posterior position of the coffin bone is often positive as you suggested, especially on front feet.

@@codyovnicek3736 oh, gotcha - thanks for the clarification. 👍

Kinda like a women walking in high heels all the time. All the pressure on the ball of your foot and throws all the little pedal bones outta wack!

Natural balance is ugly and don’t look balanced
