Here's pics of Bob's latest NB shoe job compared to the first one. I went ahead and had him put borium on the heels because we might be going to this place that has lots of bare rock and hills. But it's good for just general traction too. The borium is that rough, dirty looking stuff that's on the last inch of the heels. You don't want it on the toe because it would mess up your break over. It was kinda interesting watching him put it on there...
Left front, 1st time/2nd time...
You can see he's still got some toe overhang, but the inside rim of the shoe is closer to where it needs to be when compared to the first time these shoes were put on. The toe overhang should eventually go away as the flare on the front of his hoof grows out. He trimmed up the creases of his frogs quite a bit this time. I don't really understand why, and I really didn't want him too, but I didn't say anything. Next time I think I'll ask him not to.
Left hind, 1st/2nd...
Left front, side view...
You can see the amount of toe overhang and how it's undercut so that it's at the same angle as the rocker on the toe of the shoe.
I'm really embarassed. While I was at Jenny's I was just looking at the pictures in your posts. Now I've gone back to read them......you said right there about the borium. Well once again, I've learned to read before responding:)
