Re: [RC] crack/line hoof - agilbxrI have to agree. I wonder if these problems had been addressed earlier, would the patch thing be needed. I about cried at that arab horse with the foot that longer than all four of Spots put together, and the standardbred with the toes about 8 inches long. No wonder their feet were cracking. Of course, I do realize I'm paranoid about feet, and annoyed the heck out of my farrier when Spot had a crack in his foot...at the toe, that trimmed out and is now gone.... I can guarentee if my horses feet were bleeding for any reason, he wouldn't be working, much less in racing.
Juli and Spot (who is glad mom is paranoid...I don't like ouchy feet)
and Alpine (she obcesses over our feet...it's kinda annoying at times)

Just great this farrier has developed a way to help these horses that seem to show pretty advanced and long term injuries that weren't adressed a long time prior..... But the "before" photos are all just horrifying to me in that not a one of the ones I looked at appeared to have a decent shoeing job to begin with....I can't imagine anyone trying to use those horses for any kind of performance! You see high, steep heels, totally overgrown feet, bad angles.etc. And to clean things up, apply the patch and expect the horse to go back into racing or whatever...well I guess it's all about the money... Does anyone else see the same things I do?
