No heels, no problem! This is a great example of getting a horse with negative heels back into full performance work.
The dreaded low heels, no heels, or in this case, negative heels is one of the most challenging problems we face as farriers.
It's very hard - although not impossible - to keep a large degree wedge on a horse with conventional shoes. That's why in situations like with this horse, I opt to instead.
It lasts for a full cycle and allows the hoof to grow and flex, all the while protecting the entirety of the hoof. The polymer wears down over time and creates caudal support for a negative heel such as the one you are seeing.
