Could be. This horse always was pretty hard to shoe. Good minded but usually sore after shoeing. Perhaps I should have thought a bit harder about that. But that has been the case for years and all in all he did really well. If I left as much foot as possible he didn't seem to have any trouble at all. This is a good reminder that the invention of that German Professor called Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen is pretty helpful at times. A guy by the way that got his school education in the Netherlands, he grew up in the Netherlands. In fact his mother was from Amsterdam. His school education has a typical Dutch aroma around it. He was expelled from school because he refused to tell whom of his classmates was responsible for a (not very flattering) drawing of one of the teachers at that school. Being expelled from school he could not enter Gymnasium, a school required at the time to be accepted for university education. In fact this was the formal reason Röntgen was not accepted by Utrecht University, the very same university that nowadays conducts all kinds of equine locomotion related research sometimes paid for by third -not necessarily independent- parties. Röntgen was accepted at Zürich University, apparently the Swiss unlike the Dutch did understand that Röntgen did not want to rat on his classmates.

p.s. the very first X ray ever showing the bones in the hand of Röntgen's wife and her wedding ring as well.
