[RC] Length of frog/NBS protocols/pastern angle - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== The NBS protocol will over time RESULT in huge healthy frogs that come 2/3 or 3/4 of the way to the toe.BUT THIS TAKES A LONG TIME,about a year's worth of shoeing cycles.The farrier cannot trim the hoofs into this configuration in a single shoeing."Normal" shoeing "to the pastern angle" is the cause of the long toe/shrunken frog,no heels syndrome. The problem is finding a farrier who will willingly study and follow the NBS trim protocols. (Farriers are among the few businessmen who are operating in a seller's market.More power to them,but if an auto mechanic had the same approach to information and new things that most farriers have,they'd go out of business!) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
