Re: RC: re: interference boots and interfering

[Dave & Abby Bloxsom <cyclone@snet.net>]

Keep in mind that this (lowering outside walls and adding a slight
trailer) only works if that's what the horse needs.  The key is to
balance each foot on its own, and the foot should fly in a straight line
from where it's lifted up to where it's set down.  One can only do that
by looking at the foot from several different views, not just by knowing
that the horse interferes.  Sorry.  Discuss it in detail with your
farrier.  Make him/her explain it to your satisfaction.  Of course
everyone has a "theory" but it's only by learning lots of the different
approaches to corrective work that one can pick out a likely solution. 
Good luck.
