The stall jack with the turning cams and the aluminum shoes make cold shoeing a lot easier. The next hard part for newbies is aiming the nails. Even the old hands miss with one now and then. If you miss low, the best thing is to leave that one out because it's tough to put one in higher. If your nail is almost home and hasn't broken out, you have 2 choices.... hit it hard and hope, or pull it and put some bend in the tip.
Great horses and loving strong horses and many horses loves brand new shoes just like people and horses leg is very comfortable thanks for vedio great work great job
Thanks for the comment. I don't think navicular, just an older horse with a foot that has grown forward, making it more difficult to break over if not addressed in the trim and shoe.
Foot is a long oval, and the heels are contracted. Both are things I now try to avoid. Also, I would not want a shoeing hammer with the long nose that is now popular. I would miss more nails than I would hit.
Hello - Bobby said over the years of shoeing the horse, he found elevating the hoof with the rim pad and a slight wedge seemed to keep the horse more comfortable. He said he tried using some products like EquiPak but the horse wasn't comfortable. Apparently doesn't have much sole depth no matter how minimal the trim. This is in his thinking on setting the shoe back- the foot runs forward some and setting the shoe back enables the horse to be more comfortable and put less stress on the white line and laminae at the toe. Thanks for the question-
It's a way of trying to reverse foot forward syndrome. Some say the wedge is good, some say it makes things worse. I always shied away from setting the shoe back, but now I actually do it a little. I showed my horses in classes that favored high stepping, which can be achieved by long toes and heavy shoes. This, I came to realize, can cause the whole hoof capsule to deform in a forward direction. It can be a bear to reverse.

Never seen a better job ‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Horse have navicular issues? Another great video, thank you?

Out of curiosity, why did you put a leather rim pad on?
I think he wants to lift the hoof just slightly as the horse seems to be more comfortable if it's not so close to the ground.
@@FarrierProducts older horses usually need a touch more heel support
Perfekt work!

What's the idea in setting the shoe back and a wedged pad?

Thank you for replying. Cheers
FarrierProducts thank you for this explanation I thought the dude had plum lost his mind! 😂😂
My opinion. I don't you needed a heel pad. If you trimmed some toe . lower the heel with it. ????

What brand of chaps is he wearing ?
Awsome !
The yellow color on the toe.is that what they call corn? What causes that?
From the toe being a touch to long and bit of pressure..

Why do I watch these? I don’t own a horse.
Wait no I do have one. I forgot. I haven’t lived on this farm very long and I forgot we have an old horse in one of our fields.
Putting “ cleats” on a horse dooms them to leg problems. Dirty lil secrets of athletes that can’t speak
Yea, well unfortunately you can't run in the big shows without cleats on and expect a check.
Why.....
Don't rasp the wall away.
He barely touched it,
What is this talk of ‘Left front’ and ‘Right front’? WTF?
It’s ‘Near front’ and ‘Off front’ for crying out loud!
Just trying to make sure those that aren't familiar with the near and off terms understand😉
One,s as good as the other.
