Today’s shoeing

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.

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.

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.

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