I made a couple more shoes today... attempted a couple bar shoes. They shaped up nice and it was a lot easier than I thought, until I got to the welding part. I don't remember it being that hard, but I could not get them to stick today. Humpf. I was too tired and crabby to keep at it tonight, but maybe tomorrow... I'm trying not to be too nervous about this certification test, but it sure is a lot of work.
I worked with a foundered mare again today--it was her third reset of shoes after the founder. She has the most pronounced founder ring I've ever seen and quite a bit of damage to several areas of the hoof capsule. It makes me sad to see hooves like these that were once so healthy. I am hoping and praying that with time and careful hoof care they will return to that healthy state!
