Well, the farrier should have plenty of packing material in his truck. That’s pretty much a standard farrier supply. A lot of them use oakum, which is kind of a fibrous stuff like coir or coco fiber, but some use the newer stuff that I think has more shock absorbing qualities for packing hooves prior to putting on pads. Didn’t your old farrier used some kind of packing before he put those pads under Bay’s shoes?
