I was
having somewhat of the same problem with my gelding. I spoke with my shoer. He
rolled the toes on his front feet (actually created a rocker effect) and backed
the shoes up a bit on the back feet. This made a huge difference. Stay in communication with your shoer. If he
or she has no clue as to what they can or can’t do to help, get a new shoer!

My endurance gelding seems to be tripping a lot more
than usual (last two sets of shoes) and I am wondering if anyone might have
some insight on this . . this time was the first time he ever went completely
down . . . he actually tripped and fell to the ground pinning my leg under him
this time and I couldn’t even find what he might have tripped on . .we were just walking, it was a fire
road with an ever so slight down hill trend . . he has not been tripping at the
trot or faster . . being shod this Saturday and going to try natural balance
shoeing . .
