In this video I try and show the difference in trims between an upright hoof capsule and a long toe low heel hoof capsule. Enjoy!

Great examples. The first horse which is a Farriers dream was standing with his knees/leg a little back from his chest.

He most definitely is, I’ve never witnessed him standing any other way, which probably contributes to his upright hoof capsule. Thanks for the comment!

Great commentary and explanation. No mention re HPA that your first horse is camped under in front though, lol, As for second horse, really like seeing your full fit on the heels and under the bulbs, but for improving heel condition, how about using a frog support pad with DIM, and floating the heels slightly? And finally, your vids are such a treat after the usual skim over the process without insight or explanation majority, more please. Nice country in the background there, southern Alberta or Sask, or Montana?

Thanks for the compliments! As much as I’d love to integrate either pads or bar shoes on this horse, he travels very well so it’s hard to justify them currently. Thanks again for watching and engaging on my videos.

Have you considered load sharing through a leather or frog support pad to help engage that prolapsed frog? Love the rocker to help get around COR.

I have yet to integrate pads for this for this horse. As much as I’d love to, I just don’t think it’s in the cards for this client currently. Thanks for the comment!
