Shoeing

Today's shoeing victim is Art. Good instead of great job. Take a look and see where Nob might have improved.
The old shoe. The shoe's heel branches were cut off as the size 6 level grip had to be cut down with bolt cutters for the size 5.5 this horse wears.
Initial trimming. The red spot at the toe is dried blood. Notice bruising on the left sole at the quarters. This is what galloping on hard ground gets you. Nob said in mid January Art stopped galloping strongly. Now we know why.
The trimmed left hind. Overtrimmed at the toe so we have better balance as shoeing cycle proceeds but the hoof is less upright than the picture shows.
