This might take me a couple of tries to get the photos up.

For reasons I would rather not go into right now, I am forced to do my own shoeing. Would you guys please help me out. My vet has inspected my shoeing in the past and said I was doing good. That was months ago. I don't want to get off track. It may be a few months before I can get an actual farrier out again. Long story. I would have him do this if I could, believe me.

Well, something is going wrong here. I even tried to start my own album at this site and keep getting the failed upload message. I will have to try again later.

Outside view of hind left.

These rings appear on the inside of the hind left foot, but not the side facing out.

Her heel bulbs on the hind left are distorted. They have been even as a foal. She was premature with hyperflexing joints. The hind left took the longest to strengthen, but never was quite straight on it. I want to be sure I don't make it worse as I go through these present tough times.

I forgot to mention the reason for the ShockTamer pads. While this horse primarily does Dressage, I also do a lot of trail riding at a trot pace. Lots of rocks.

The left hind heels are a bit off, it is hard to tell with out looking at the sole but the inside heel looks longer and would be why the heels still look off. I would have to see how the horse is moving but the rings could just be jamming from the extra length.

The shoes are nailed really low and you have some shoe hanging off the medial side on the front left-balance looks like it needs some adjustment all round
