The thing that slows me down the most is those darn clipped nail holes.

Hi all,

I have and with out clips it's not that hard but I wonder what the point other than an exersize is cuz it's really hard on stamps and because normally when I work a shoe I only heat the part I'm working where as you need to heat the whole bar if your going to work it in one heat, so is it any faster?

How could anyone with that last name prefer bananas? In fact, I'm disappointed that Dianne has not favored us with a Lemon shoe confection, either open heeled or in a bar configuration. I'd even be willing to bet that as she fabricates one of these gems, she's sipping away a glass or two of iced tea, Long Island or otherwise.

Because of its nature, would the lemon shoe not be an effective anti-thrush orthotic?

Bill Would that be the Adam's Apple of larynx fame, or the fleshy edible pome fruit of a tree, genus Malus? Or, are these apples of the 'road apple' variety?

Bill Adams OFFLINE Master Posts: 4185 Thank you received: 9 Karma: 6	Rick, Of course I refer to the fruit, so as to keep the pun authentic, otherwise I would have had to say;"other kinds of apples to oranges". Going this route did cause problems though. During the R/D phase, the horses kept eating components, witch then, coincedentaly you should mention, became road apples. Bill

Kevin

the first time i seen it done was at royal dublin horse show (Ireland)
one of the best all round farriers i seen Dave Duckett gave a demmo

that was 30 plus years ago kevin its only a bit of fun
to do it in one heat
its not hard on stamps because or pritchels

the shoe is normally made out of 5/8 x 5/16 concave
its easy you just have to now the moves

when i run a compitition i throw this in as a fun class

the secret in the shoe is not to crack the clip
that is the exercise

i have one some where made by dave duckett
you might like to see it
