foot dressing

What do you mean fit the medial toe well Gary?

In '99 me and the ole' man watched the first reiners slide at Gladstone when their induction was achieved for the USET/USEF induction. Most of the small stud ponies needed their hocks done. Most that came to "our shop" had medial toe nail pain. Besides 'throwing " 29 NBS shoes up front. Anecdote, " winner IS Drunken Mexican; bridal less" in the freestyle.
Dressing Flares is a way to mediate "a way of going" to fit a shoe to appease a pleasant appearance(s). Also, a way to keep the foot in check. As stated " the horn is malleable".
"Dressings"- tidy job with shine.

proper trim ,proper fit and nail placement
what can go wrong

Maybe so John. "Set 4 feet on the ground per said accomplishments doesn't mean long term results of accomplishment".

don't follow you Jaye

"Set 4 per the rules" "rules have changes in 35 days". per the ole' man. a clue for "probies".

I just stick to shoeing horses

I just stick to shoeing horses

i do also. what changes do you make per the "Next shoeing or cycle" John?

the horses that get the most changes for me are the pacers I shoe
they always want something different
but other than that Jaye its all simple common sence stuff

Agreed John. Pacers are owners' induced problems for farriers. A lot like dressage. Basics.....................

well were are these trims, dressings, foot prep or what ever you want to call it
before and after shots

Are questioning "you methodologies and or comparisons"?

I posted earlier in the thread asking to see farriers trims
but I think it will be a non runner
just thought it would be interesting
and educational

Have to agree a bit on the break over thing. But what I did on the one I extended the toe was gave a good lift in the toe. I do know before I did this, there was a problem, now the horse get a good slide. Good results were achieved. Rider was happy.

It's rare I dress a foot.

Good Pony, alternate in ' 84. Did him till the day ; God Bless.

Whether the back paddock pony or the "Leapy Lad", I have never made a difference(s) in the farrierry applied. Nor do most.

Looking to be comparative; per pics, in "Shine"?

Smitty, watch them when they slide..every Trainer I shod or shoe for want a bold medial toe to keep the hoof in the slide. If you cheat them any they will spread more than desired..I hope I am explaining it so you understand what I am sayin? Years ago some Trainers wanted you to nail the shoe on alittle bit tilted to the medial and not straight in line with the frog..as I build all my sliders I used nail placement to please them. Made them think I turned or twisted the shoe...
