Re: [RC] pulled shoe - Carolyn Burgess



I agree with below, so explain to me, how those of
us
who are non-farriers, and have no schooling or
professional training on the subject, seem to get
this
and the professional farriers (enough of them to be
causing alot of us pain and consternation) don't or
won't???

I agree with this, simply for the reason that your
horse's biomechanics are dictating (trying to tell
you how to shoe him), but the farrier isn't
listening.
 
Sometimes, farriers remove just too much front

hoof

heel and not enough of the rear hoof heal,

changing

the timing of the front and rear hooves' loading

and

unloading.

And breakover. Long toes and low heels delay
breakover and encourage interference. Any horse

that

"clicks" at the walk or trot is improperly shod in
this way. 

Meawhile, running the shoe under the heels simply
results in heel contraction and further LTLH
configuration--as well as all the lamenesses that
arise therefrom. 

Before you can talk about a horse's foot, the very
first thing you have to know are hoof angles and

toe

lengths. Otherwise, you're working blind.
