This unfortunate horse couldn't even stand for her shoing job. Nothing like being told you're the last resort for a horse to feel the pressure!

This foundered horse was shod 4 weeks ago. One of the most severe cases I've had. With therapeutic shoes and a great diet, the horse is feeling like she is 5 again without pain killers. (I was told the shoes wouldn't stay on longer then a week😁)

04/19/2021

This made for an interesting day! Good thing we know how to make bar shoes!

04/09/2021

Rocker shoe with a reverse wedge to help this foundered horse onto the road to recovery!

Copper nails with the dark background of a forged shoe! Just looks right!
