John, the H bar will get weight off the toe and floating the area on each side of the crack would help. I would have had the nails and shoe a bit...
Ray, go ahead and get 100,000 of 'em. Everyone will say they wanted the other size.
I agree 100% John. It probably won't hurt or help where a nail goes on a poor trim, shape, and fit. Check out the study. the only difference was...
Ray, can you get 100,00 tongue depressors?
Tom, Just got to the puter and read your post. I too have found no ill effects from having nails further back, and have noticed that feet tend not to...
I see a problem with your set up. I think you should go with an 11/64" hole. I like the Iron Mountain.
I went to the forge this morning and got a piece of 3/8 x 1 x 13 and a couple of other odd short pieces to us as shims to lay the new floor in my...
Clean out a Bag Balm can and poke a hole in one corner of the top with a pritchel.
Mikel, thanks for posting that article by Martin Kenny. Abut five years ago I quit using the toe nails because I figured they weren't doing much, and...
Cool. I'll post my 2015 world tour schedule soon.

Very nice Mikel. I've made a hobby of snagging shoes at clinics made by the greats. My favorite is a roadster made by Don Davis from Redding,...
What's even better in showing up at the end of a Teaching People To Trim Their Own Horses Clinic sponsored by the local Professional Barefooters...
Ray, I consider her mine Fuhrer. Or Fuheress, however that works. I read an article by a gal who quit Strauser's group because the horse she trimmed...
I developed my "nails don't matter" theory after a few observations. I had a horse that was conformationaly all fouled up and had poor shoeing when...
I don't think nails keep the shoes on, so a micro perfect nail head fit may not matter much. What keeps the shoe on is a trim, shoe shape, and fit...
Ray, I've heard several Strauser stories about horses and ponies being trimmed to her standard of sole cupping that foundred and had to be put down....
In 22 years, I've had one client ask if I was Certified. It was just after I pasted the AFA CF practical (on the first try) so she was ok with me...
Usually when I'm nailing, but I see this sort of thing occasionally. I think it's from trauma caused by a stone or hard step on something hard....
So I shod a horse at the Vet clinic today and as I was packing up, one of the Vets returned from a call. We exchanged pleasantries then she asked if...
Separate names with a comma.
