As to pics, my IT Dept. (15 year old daughter) is on the case.
Confusion created by trying to communicate in British and American. I use clips very seldom and haven't used toe clips for about 17 years or more.
The way I mean it is to hold the forward edge of the toe of the shoe behind the forward edge of the toe of the hoof. How far back? Depends.
I haven't a clue ether, and I'm the one who wrote it. What I may have meant was this: Say a size one shoe would fit the foot with a nice perimeter...
I hate women Farriers. Mainly because so many are better than me and just about all that I've met can probably kick my butt. Just keep improving as...
When considering new suggestions or following age old rules, ask "Why?". Especially if I'm the one making suggestions, but being able to know...
Great letter Tom. Covers many concerns I've had and dose it well. One of my new hobbies is to take the "shoeing prescriptions" ordered by vets and go...
Looking better Dale. What I would have done with this one is to broaden , roll, and hold back the toe. Holding the shoe back will give you more...
That's how I get back to the truck after the last horse. When we go to the supremarket, I always get to push the cart so I limp less. I'm lame a bit...
I cut the discs on the ones I've made to 16". I stand with part of my feet on the stand and the rest on the ground. I'll try to get a teenager to...
Kyle. Nice work on the stand but during a horse wreck, I think that thing would slice up some legs pretty well. I like your idea of a harrow...

hi Stef, The thing to know is why they're getting white line in the first place. As it's probably in the quarters toward the heels, there may be...
All the above are good suggestions. Usually I wonder why it happens all the time and how could I quick three nails on one foot. If someone's around I...
In a lot of ways, but with shoeing the horse must leave better than when the other guy did him or better than the last time I did him. More later.
So David I'm back. I don't do rules well, NB or other system rules, traditional rules, or my own rules.
Good idea Ray, but when the trade is made be sure no one puts the holes in their pockets as there would be holes in their pockets.
I've put on about ten pair in the last twenty years, so I'm probably not qualified to claim that Title. I'm leaving town for a couple days, will...
