Shoeing during a Demo

First day of the clinic I was helping in a shoeing demo.

Long hind foot

Same hind after shoeing

A Rock and Roll shoe

This is a Rock and Roll shoe, this is the first time I've seen one of these on a foot.

Heel view

Heel view of Rock and Roll shoe.

A Rubber shoe

Again this is shoe I'm not that familiar with but good to experience new things.

Heel View

Toe out conformation

This horse doesn't have straight conformation, there is a video you can check out to see how this horse moves.

Collateral Ligament Damage

This horse had Collateral ligament damage and coffin joint issues.

Fitted with a Clog

This is a clog to help take the leverage off the sides of the foot.

Fitting the Clog

Rails

We fitted some rails to add a bit of heel elevation.

Bevelling of the lateral side

We bevelled off the lateral side to help the horse land flatter.

SuperFast rim

This horse had multiple problems, but to summarize the inside of it's feet were falling out the bottom, and the feet were collapsing under the shear size of the horse (18hh).

Screwing on Plywood

Another way of attaching a shoe.

Plywood shoe

Here is a shoe made out of plywood.

Clog screwed to the bottom

This clog helps the horse to breakover, and works like a joint on the bottom of his foot.

What a collapsed foot

Heel View

Under the shoe is Impression Material to share the load over the sole.
