There’s not one correct answer.

It’s an ongoing investigation.

Part of the downside of a perimeter shoe is, the tendency to remove too much foot at one time.
Most people agree, leaving too much length is counter productive. But this can lead to thinning the sole structure to the point where the horse is susceptible to injury from the ground.

It’s a very fine line.

The alternative is to use mechanics in favor of the horse.

When the foot is allowed to find a state of equilibrium, the sole begins to shed naturally. It’s a process whereby the architecture of the hoof is restored.

It’s no longer necessary to expose the horse to danger by over trimming.

When the hoof is in a state of equality, the border between live sole and what needs to be removed becomes much more apparent.

This is a brand new OTTB that had a laminitis insult just as he changed jobs.

We sometime discount the stress that a horse can undergo when changing zip codes.

New feed, new hay, new social surroundings, new water. All that in addition to what can be a lengthy trailer ride, can conspire to trigger a metabolic insult.

Thankfully this case was caught early. Taylor Hiatt applied clogs within hours of the emerging symptoms.

Early treatment may be the single most important factor in determining success.

We’ll apply CRS Therapeutic shoes for the remainder of his rehab.

Thankfully he’s back on track to being a productive member of society!

This horse creates 3 degrees of lateral wedge to equalize the structure.

The d/p plane has a lot of variation built in, but the m/l plane has a smaller margin of error. Without variation, the coffin joint can undergo leverage that exceeds the capability of the structure.

Many lameness cases have a m/l component that can’t be resolved with a perimeter shoe.

Long term gain is not found by exploiting nature.

As horse people, it’s hard to think about horses without thinking about movement.

As horseshoers, the conversation usually surrounds, all the phases of motion. While certainly relevant, perhaps not the whole story.

The resting stance is the first indication of discomfort, or organization.

When we begin the observation at rest, the logic of movement becomes more clear.
