In the 60+ years I have owned horses, there have been
shoers whose nails projected beyond the nail holes, and I never found this to be
a problem. I suppose after the heads wear off, there is less to hold the
shoe on, but I just don't recall this ever being a problem. Maybe I've
forgotten?
Should the nail heads of the nails seat flush with the shoe and
fit completely into the nail hole? This time, my horse's nail heads do not fit
flush and stick up at least 6+mm above the entire shoe. Could this
be a problem or just let it go. Shoer is out of state and talking to him
has become a rather offensive/defensive situation. I am searching for a
new one but in a small community the word gets around and I will find myself
completely without a shoer.
thanks
