Good candidate for a Myron McLane pad. Cut some toe off these feet, Please!!

[tbloomer]

It appears that you have applied the magic pink poison. I wonder if that horse will wind up suffering from autisim . . . :)

I would have also have filled the debrided area with acrylic - after nailing on the shoe. It bonds right through the pink stuff especially if you dry the area with a heat gun first. Never had anything grow under a patch that was undercoated with the pink stuff . . . but I've only done it on about 50 jobs so far.

That would work. Right now he's in a eggbar heartbar shoe packed with equi build.

I'll try to get more next time. I cut as much off as I felt comfortable doing. It's weird because the bottom of this foot looks great. The white line isn't distorted, nice color, healthy thick walls,etc. When I was trimming this foot I thought it look good, I cut about 1/2 inch of toe off, and it didn't appear to me( looking at the bottom) that any dorsal dressing was needed so I didn't. However, after looking at the pictures I see something completely different.

As a side note I was told this horse has stifle issues.

That is why I suggested a Myron Mclane Pad; wedge, frog support and ability to rocker the dog squeeze out of the foot.

[Dave Purves]

Andrew, this is the type of foot that gives toe clips a bad name. If you can't physically take the toe off, and bring breakover back, then you must do it mechanically, and a toe clip isn't going to help you unless you've either wedged or rockered the cr-ap out of the toe.

Dave and Jaye,
I suppose if I were to wedge the one foot than I should do the same to the other? I really believe the toe clip is necessary to stabilize the shoe on the foot so I'll probably be inclinded to rocker the dog **** of the toe while keeping the toe clip on the next shoeing. Are you both suggesting the use of wedges because of the broken back H/P axis? And angle of the horn tubules compared to the pastern angle? Just trying to understand your ways of thinking. Thanks all.


Tom,
didn't know that glue would stick to the Mersol. Thanks for the tip.

Andrew Grimm-.....Jaye,

As you mentioned, "the horse has stifle issues", so usually it is bilateral or both are affected. In some cases one side more than the other.


I really believe the toe clip is necessary to stabilize the shoe on the foot so I'll agree, the toe clip is a stabilization tool, there is 1/3 of the horn is missing.

There is not understanding it "All", trust your eyes. In most cases if it doesn't look right it ain't.

Here is a comparable case.

[smitty88]

like Jaye mentioned get rid of that toe
way to long

Smitty, every time I cut of a toe like that the damned thing just grows back. How do you get rid of 'em?

[smitty88]

get at him every 3or4 weeks i supose
looking at that foot of Andrew

might of been more aggressive
dont think i would have put a clip at the toe

I think if he really chops as much toe off as Jaye has drawn and rockers them hard, he might have a civilised looking toe without the MMcL pad, which is a great tool, but since he has so much horn missing, would stick to the K.I.S.S method.
By the way: do you guys only recommend Mersol?
Cheers

Just curious,
How did the toe get that long in the first place?
Could that have caused the WLD?
