Brig, finished shoeing and walking off with a slight heel first landing on all four hooves.

Shoe selection and placement. Please excuse the shaky video. I was working alone and there wasn't anyone at the barn.

This is Brig. I've been managing his hoof care for over 16-years. He has a very common hoof issue that can be difficult to manage without understanding where the internal structures are as the toe and false white line stretch forward. Hoof mapping and shoe placement are a key to maintaining a balanced hoof. I know by the end of this six to eight week shoe cycle, he'll have these toes stretched way forward of the break over and fictional white line.

After a week of much needed rain, I'm finally able to check on Luna. She's pastured on a 40 acre section of land and I found her grazing within a ravine. She's able to "self maintain" her hooves because of the geology that she navigates everyday.

This is a 19-year old barrel racing horse with contracted heels, bruised heel buttress, an atrophied & non functioning frog.
