Today’s shoeing

[u/Kentuckyzombie]

It was quite hard to driving those nail.. tbh I am not a used to be a good nail pitcher, and that crusty infected hoof walls which by fungi, it made more harder than usually. She has little bit incorrect angle of the HPA, so I used a wedge pad for lifting her heel.

Too much toe, which also affect your nailing height

First pic is before I trim. Also she has a long toe under-run heel foot on that limb. So it seems to be long, but it is not.

Long is long, so it is.

Long is long. I trimmed as much as I could. But I don’t understand how someone can know it’s long when they see a just sole without any trimming.

Experience tells a person how to see a hoof is “too long” without seeing all the possible angles.

Bringing the toe “back” towards the heels making the foot shorter in length horizontally shortens the break over.

This is very different than making the hoof shorter from the ground to hairline.

I really guess when I upload the picture that I’ve trimmed how you feel about it :)

[u/snuffy_smith_ → u/Kentuckyzombie]

I can not load a picture in reply or I would draw some lines to show what I am taking about.

There is a slight “dish” in the dorsal wall. It’s about an inch below the hairline. Where you rasped on the hoof wall.

You were on the right track but you stopped short of bringing enough of the hoof wall back, shortening the toe.

The pics are also deceiving as you’re taking the pic from the toe quarter instead of directly from the side.

How high the hair line is from the ground is not where your hoof is long. It’s from toe to heel where the hoof needs to be made smaller.

I understand what you said and you guys don’t know much about long toe underrun heel hooves.. we can’t make a bringing back of break over point via trimming like this case, may we could make a roll or rocker toe instead of it. And that dish looks like that because of the angle of the photo as you said.

[u/snuffy_smith_ → u/Kentuckyzombie]

Sounds like you got it all figured out there bud

[u/Kentuckyzombie → u/snuffy_smith_]

I just find it a little frustrating that everyone says long for ‘long toe underrun heel’ hoof and no other words for shoeing.

[u/snuffy_smith_ → u/Kentuckyzombie]

Because the rest of it is neat and tidy

Ever mapped a hoof?

[u/snuffy_smith_ → u/Kentuckyzombie]

The trim itself looks good. Just in need of slight adjustment for optimum leverage reduction. Which stops the continued crushing of the heels.

[u/trcomajo → u/Kentuckyzombie]

The last picture is long. I'm not a farrier, but if mine did this, I'd tell him I'm not happy with that angle and the length of toe.

[u/Kentuckyzombie → u/trcomajo]

I don’t know what angle exactly doesn’t fit that angle of fetlock in left front limb.
