: : My mare wears four shoes, her front shoes have a rocker toe. She is almost 4 weeks into her last reset. The farrier is out in a week and a half to reset her, same as normal length of time.
: : In the last week or so I have noticed that she has started to breakover to one side of the rocker, to the outside edge to be exact. The outside half of her rocker is worn more than the inside half. This is not normal for this mare. She does a far bit of walking on pavement (to get to the arena and to her paddock), so I expect the shoes to wear a little faster then if she only walked on grass.
: : Any idea as to why she has started to wear the outside before the inside all of the sudden??

: Have your farrier watch her move and ask him/her the same question and concerns.

Does your mare paw when tied or on concrete? Alot of times they will wear off part of the shoe that way. Just wondering? Gary
