["DeSoto Saddle" <desotosaddle@voyager.net>]

I have shod horses for 35 years about as long as I have built saddles. I
have had a lot of experience with this sort of thing on my own horses riding
endurance. There is some things that I have learned that defies what most
farriers do when they try to correct these problems. It sounds like you are
using calked shoes. I need to know more about the horses conformation in
order to confirm where your troubles are. What I believe would help is
definitely NO CALKED SHOES, this is a no, no. Square the toes in the rear.
Tip the rear feet slightly to the inside and put egg bar shoes on the rear.
This plus a few other little things has solved my horses problems in the
past.

If you would like to E-mail me privately I would be happy to talk to you
more about your horse and his interference problems.

right front cannon bone about half way up on the inside at the last ride.
My horse who has the same sire as my husband's also does the same thing once
in a while.  The interfering in the back is not as bad since he put on keg
shoes with the inside bump flattened out, but it does still happen
sometimes.  We use boots when we do endurance, but also do some CTR where
they always end up at least bumping the old scabs off.  Anyone have a
similar problem and find the solution?  Thanks for any help or advice you
can give me.
