    Yes Eric ...I would not say all same foot but fronts..and at very diff times...the high heels you see in the M.Roller I would say a year back.. the set up I put him in right out of the she's was I.M. with a full wedge mum 3 and a number two bar wedge on top of that..

    So the high heel glued shoe is the same shoe as the aluminum with pin studs everywhere and the toe split in half?

    I would Lov to tell a romantic tale of how they tracked me down to shoe the horse after many have had a go at it ..and I fixed him.....sorry that's just not the case...it was laid over at a local hunter show farm that I do with about twenty head..and well they had no choice but to use me..lol..or haul him back to rood and riddle..( spell) .. they said he lame so the farrier can't hurt him..lol.. I catch lighting in a bottle..he went sound ..no one was more shocked than me.. I noticed he wenced on the turn heels looked to be moving independently ..made him put one heel on a hammer and pick up other foot and he would go up...so I just added all the support I could....I know very little about what or why he was in what he was..Justin can fill us in on that... It's been a fun ride Shoeing him over the year or so ..got to go places and see things I never would have other wise and all on someone else dime..but I am thankfull of it..

    I'd much prefer what you saw and did and what was wrong with the horse in the first place than hearing what they did at R&R that didn't work.

    Well that's the thing Eric ..I don't know..the only thing I got was from a local vet that the arthritis was bad.. and that was after the fact of Shoeing..and just kinds did what R and R did and add support..i was not meaning to take a jab at R and R if it come across that ..I apologize to all if it came off as if I was..

    Well either of the two farriers at R&R that made that shoe are pretty damn handy in the fire. Looks like things had been let go a little to long after seeing the pics of the foot when Travis got to it.
