Wow, I cannot believe the way some of you feel about your clients. Who is with the horse 24/7?
Who spend over 20 years or more working with horse's feet, not just the ones attached to your pet but of litterally thousands and thousands? Who spends his life, risking health, with a good chance he won't be able to do his job anymore when he's 60? All that just because he loves to work with horses and work on trouble those horses run into?

but don't disregard theirs either!! A GOOD farrier makes EVERYONE happy, the horse, the owner, and himself/herself.
A good shoer makes the horse happy even if that doesn't please the owner or the vet or God himself.

The bar wedge pads are great, and they do allow contact with the frog if applied properly. The pad is flexable and stimulates the frog as it hits the ground. I have had great success with bar wedge pads, and will choose them over egg bar, bar, heart bar shoes, and/or solid bottom pads any day!!
Maybe you'd do even a better job when you'd be a little more flexible in choosing what's good for an invidual horse at any one time.
