Some handmades from today on one of my favorite red horses. He’s healing up from a collateral ligament injury. This G-bar shoe will help to stabilize the foot while giving the lateral collateral ligament a little more support due to that side of the shoe “floating” more on soft footing than the medial due to more surface area. While both collateral ligaments are not happy the lateral is the one actually injured so I got a little creative with this therapeutic package and added a leather pad to minimize the amount the foot will sink into the ground and used concave to keep things light and to give him a little traction coming into spring wet season.

A few shots from the last couple days. 2 Person draft run by some awesome farriers Ian Bevington and Annabell Westley, way to represent Nebraska !
Lectures that have been quite educational, and a few action shots of the Competition.
Fwi: the Swiss Farrier Team knows how to party, so much for good sleep last night. But As long as there is coffee and redbull I should be able to make it through the day and learn another thing or two.
Also Margo I might be bringing the Swiss Farrier team home quarantine vacation.
