: : Hi, I am the owner of the horse described in the post entitled "fetlock bruise". He is better now, but obviously he still has an interference problem. My question is now thus: Can one put a trailer on the outside of the front shoe (in this case, the left fore), as it wings in and he hits his coronet and fetlock???? Is this ever done? Are there any other ways to inhibit winging in on the front legs of a narrowish horse? I use him for dressage and jumping, and he lives outside in a big paddock 24/7. Thank you, I hope that you will answer this post for me.

: I might opt for a counter weight shoe. Maybe in a quarter or half round.
: But I would keep and eye on the stress of the soft tissue.
: Just my thinking.

I would opt for a second opinion by another shoer and balance that horse better. ch
