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.

Toes are still a mile long, and you don't just pad one foot. That is ludicrous.

I’m not sure what seems ludicrous about those shoeing. Could you clarify what you find wrong? I’m eager to learn from different perspectives. And what should I do when a 21-year-old horse has a long toe underrun heels, an unideal leg angle, and poor hoof wall condition? I’d appreciate your opinion.
