Wouldn't you be concerned about the
wedge causing more jamming. Maybe a
frog support pad, or heartbar. I would
definately try to unweight(float) the
affected area.
Good job!

Hi Dan
About 3 years ago the horse was going to be put down,
I was called out as a last try to make the horse sound.
So the horse will be in wedges for the rest of its life.
I'm not sure if that is like a twin engine aircraft . . .
Single engine advocates, believe that the only good
a second engine has, is to take you to the scene of the accident.
The wedges are plastic and with the two stacked,
and frog support at the pad, I think a heartbar shoe would be redundant,
or at least I am getting the same result.
This horse will be a good personal learn for me about the wedges and jamming theory,
as I started out having to wedge the one foot and not the other.
So after two+ years I am now wedging the other foot which has no jamming at the hair line.
If it develops a jam, I will be impressed but not convinced with the theory.
And as I type, I am thinking to counteract that possibility with even lower heels.
Funny thing, or thought I just had,
This forum is cool, as I type it slows me down to really think things through,
and reflect more deeply on possibilities and probable out comes.
I guess that is one reason/benefit to scientists keeping a journal.
This horse has also created a question for me that I will open another thread on.

I am changing my mind, one foot at a time.
As always, I am all ears/eyes.
