Hello Mary,
Check the link below, click on "Natural Balance Shoes" and print the 
page for your farrier to see what he thinks about putting a set on 
the rears to make it harder for Bruiser to step on the fronts. You 
say Bruiser has good feet but once a shoe is yanked off the farrier 
has no good place to re-nail the shoe and the hoof is being damaged. 
I had the same problem 3+ years ago when my horse kept yanking the 
right front. The 3rd time in 4 months he made himself lame. I pulled 
his shoes and used Old Macs for awhile to grow some new foot thinking 
I would put steel shoes back on later but the boots worked great for 
me so my horse is still barefoot. I ride endurance with "modified" 
Old Macs and my horse has almost perfect feet. Good Luck
