Here is a picture of some of my handmade shoes that I made for an icelandic. They are 3/8" by 3/4" and 3/8" by 1". I can make any
size needed including, spoon heel, pencil heel, and weighted shoes. Every horses' needs are different and you should always work with
the farrier that understands gaited horses. Weighted shoes can be used to help improve certain gaits and to change flight patterns.
Weighted shoes can also be used to correct conformation problems.
Farrier Service
Why do we trim or shoe horses?
To keep the bony column of the leg in allgnment,
so when the foot strikes the ground, the entire
bony
column, including the spine, equally absorbs the concussion.
Reasons to Shoe your Horse
-Conformation
-Where you ride "gravel,asphalt,rocky"
-How
much you ride "10-20-30 miles a day"
-Gaiting problems
