Does it look like Harley's? Did you get a chance to get pics?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I've got a few loading as we speak. They aren't real good, I had JP here:). I was hoping to get home before dark to take goods ones, but didn't make it. These pictures are mostly of the same front foot, and a few on one back foot. You can see the jammed heel thing pretty good in a few of them.

Thanks MT:). Yes he told me to start putting Rainmaker on his hoofs twice a week.

These are all of the same front foot.

And one of a back foot.

Here's a picture of his two front feet the last time Chris shod him. I don't know if you can see much, not a good picture.

Hey Dudes. I got a Dell

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

A side view of his front feet when Chris did them.

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Hey, that's great:) Is it at your house, or your office?

Becky

[CindyDawg]

Here. My computer crashed awhile back. We bought a lap top but it didn't work right. Dell replaced it today. Maybe now I can get some pics up this weekend.

What a beautiful mare and filly :) And what a wonderful story.

[Duchess47]

Does this mean pictures of the puppy? :)

[CindyDawg]

Yep:') How's your sister?

[Duchess47]

She is fine. The surgery went well, and her vision seems to be fine. She has an abdominal aorta aneurysm that they will apparently deal with at a later time. She should come out of ICU tomorrow and then home next week.

[CindyDawg]

That's good. Is your friend still scheduled next week?

[Duchess47]

She has more tests scheduled next week - has to pass the medical okay. Last test is March 15th I believe. Then waiting for an available kidney.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I think they look good, do you?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I think they look OK. There are several things I like a lot. One is the toe is not filed off straight down. I watched him, and he rounded it off from the bottom, rather then just straight up and down from the top. I always wondered about that practice of Chris's, it seemed to take a lot of hoof wall off.

I'm looking for that thread on the horse forum, where people posted pictures of good shoe jobs. I'd like to see a foot from the side that doesn't have jammed heels.

Becky

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I found this one over ?there. I'd say this horse does NOT have jammed heels on the foot in the foreground, the back one looks iffy.

Becky

[HairOfTheDog]

I can definitely see it in the example on the other thread, not quite so much in Harley, and I can see that this last one looks pretty straight.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

I think the example on the thread must be an extreme case...I see it some in the 1st picture I posted of Harley's foot.
