More Shoeing

Forgot this one--hoof rightafter shoe removed. Art grows a lot of wall. Notice the slight imbalance just to the right of the center of the toe which is the outside instead of inside of the hoof.

Almost done trimming. The final trim was blurry and is omitted. Nob working with a dull knife today. This horse has slightly contracted heels in that the hoof could be wider at the widest point of the frog.
The pocket anvil. This great shoe shaping tool will become more popular.
The shaped shoe before the heel branches are cut off (sized). Excessive roundness (for a hind) is an optical illusion of the photo.
The applied shoe with an attempt to spread the heels slightly.

Perfect job would have extended the branches of the heels of the shoe a flash more. The area to the immediate right of the toe center probably created while shoeing in sub freezing in December should have been corrected here. Need better balance at that spot next time.
