That's evolution to hold the apron better, what can they say about it ?
Dave, for eight years or so I am feeding my horses only alfalfa and oats with no problems whatsoever from it. The high calcium and protein of...
Some 8's and some 9's, Rick, clinched with tongs. But the last time was 4-5 years ago. I don't think I have ever seen 10's and 12's.
Kim, IMHO it is a major mistake to think that you need to tighten the clinches any considerable amount. You don't need to, not at all. Just hammer...
No, David, I do not believe so. There are many horses who are horribly left or right handed, yet their hooves are in good form and mirror images. I...
When no clips, as Eric said. With a toe clip I will normally avoid the toe nails as I find the clip is enough there, and I will use two or three...
Wow. Those four tungsten pins in the toe certainly preserved the shoe for a long time.
There is one rivet only, Rick, and no other piece of metal added. Whoever made it cut an expensive shoe in half, forged a step on each half and...
David, are you saying a caulk and wedge is now illegal in the UK ? Is that for polo ponies only or a general restriction ?
Yes, Ray, definitely less white line issues with hot shoeing, if any at all. The same for the lower part of the wall.
But this area already exists. It is the Farrier related discussions. That's why there is a section for owner discussions. They are very welcome...

No, it is not. IMHO it is unfair to the horse to assume that any non-farrier can comprehend, judge or apply even the basics of hoof care. No,...
It inhibits normal collagen organization by myofibroblasts, Denise. The DDF and the inferior check ligament having some myofibroplasts, it may help...
Yes, I can understand that. If that was not the case, ie owners and other amateurs believing certain information to be credible and useful, the BUA...
No, Mary Ann, IMHO absolutely not. The issue in both sites is non farriers attempting to regulate or moderate or otherwise interfere with farrier...
Hmm.....I'll be honest, Mary Ann. No, I do not try to make myself understood to my customers because the very few times I have tried, with good...
IMHO amateurs do not belong in the farriers section. I believe there's nothing they can offer there but trouble through simple, plain ignorance of...
Yes, Travis, you do need to make one if you are dealing with soles like these. The soles in the pictures were cleaned in 5-6 minutes with a toeing...
Yes, but the only ones I can think of with jammed up quarters are 3-4 weeks away. I may have four new ones in the weekend, pretty neglected, we'll...
Separate names with a comma.
