@at leat that much! I have a hard time around
here finding a shoer that would do that, finally did. His father shoes
endurance horses and he understands the need to put the shoe under the
HEEL!
Just curious how most people have the shoes
fitted to their horses' hooves. When I was in horseshoeing school (um,
about 25 years ago, and no I never pursued it past the class) we were taught
to leave _at least_ "the thickness of a dime" of shoe sticking out
sideways past the hoof wall on the quarter and heel area, and at least 1/8"
out behind the heels. The theory being for more support.
My current farrier, who I really
like, thinks I am crazy to make him do this, keeps crabbing about how it
looks really ugly,
