A quarter crack is due to an imbalance, or extreme concussion. A bar shoe is used and the area under the crack is "floated" , allowing no bearing of weight. This enables the crack to grow out.

This hoof was shod with a glue-on and sole support material was used to transfer weight away from the affected area.

This is a fairly common problem in foals. Although the issue can resolve on its own, corrective shoeing ensures success. This process usually requires only one shoeing!

This is a chronic founder. There is way to much toe in the first image. This will be a gradual process for this horse. It will take a few shoeings to realign the hoof capsule.

A heartbar shoe was used to provide full support after surgery. The horse's entire quarter and heal area was compromised and the frog plate allows a considerable amount of weight to be transferred to the frog.

The hoof was has been removed (dorsal hoof wall resection) in order to relieve pressure on the vascular system caused by coffin bone rotation. The heartbar once again provides full digital support to prevent further rotation.
