: : : I recently purchased my first Tennessee Walker. He was a former show horse and now I use him strictly for trail riding. I would like to know more about having him shod..when I first got him his front feet were very overgrown and he stumbled frequently. Doing much better now on the trail but just want to understand his shoeing needs better. Thanks.
: : Review the past post, there are a couple about shoeing former show horses. Usually a NB trim is suggested. The show folks are in a different world, they shoe for effect nothing else.

: I am not sure what you mean by a NB trim.. Please explain. thank-you.
Go to the hopeforsoundness home page. They can explain the NB (natural blance) trim much better than I can. There is a world of information at this location. Please explore it.
