Looks good Seth. I would have done the same as Rick. Keratex putty is great, even if it falls out after a bit, it still seems to do some good, and the horse-owners don't look quite so terrified. LOL

Thanks guys!!

Hi Gary, I see what you are saying. This is a long footed Fresian/Arab cross. 3yo stud, first set of "show shoes". This was not a true toe weighted shoe package, just a heavy keg shoe with heavy pad (I call it a starter package ). I like to go the "less is more" route, so we left him at 4 1/4. See how he goes. How do you like to set up the long footed guys?

Have to say, that almost EVERY time I think the foot looks good in person, I snap a photo, look at it back home on the computer, and am always way less satisfied!! Nothing like digital to show every flaw!! lol

Have great day!!

Hi Rick.

Pads are for pedal osteitis, per vet. Long in the tooth lesson horse.


With the set back, the shoe wear is better, and the BO is where he seems the happiest. However, I welcome any thoughts you may have, if you think I could improve.
