[RC] pulled shoes - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================


And breakover. Long toes and low heels delay
breakover and encourage interference. Any horse

  that clicks" at the walk or trot is improperly shod in

this way.

Meawhile, running the shoe under the heels simply
results in heel contraction and further LTLH
configuration--as well as all the lamenesses that
arise therefrom


Okay now you are scaring me.  We have a barrel racing horse that clicks at the 
walk - farrier said it was okay as long as he doesnt at the trot.  He doesnt at 
the trot.  I noticed after the last shoeing that the left rear shoe extends 
past the his hoof wall - not a lot, but a little.  Is that what you are talking 
about "running the shoe under the heels?"

You guys talk about going thru lots of farriers.  We have, like, *one* decent 
one here.  People say that is why they do their own.  My question is - can you 
take a couple of courses and be qualified to trim a horse - or do you just end 
up thinking you are?
