Double C Farrier Service

Sometimes what works for one horse won't work for another with identical pathologies. This horse has had quite a few different therapeutic packages put on him to try to keep him sound. He has some navicular changes, and we had taken him barefoot for nearly a year, and he was doing really well until recently. After coffin joint injections, he was still presenting grade 3 to 4 lameness. Today's shoeing package is hopefully the one he'll like. It is a wedged aluminum egg bar with a rocker bar forged in. This setup allows elevation of the heels without the constant ground force concussion. We added a leather pad as well to help add additional shock-absorbing properties and some solar protection, as he is thinner soled as well.
