but the frog is still unnsupported. . . I agree, we need a follow up to see if this has corrected the crushed heels. I would turn the horse out, without shoes, for a six month lay up period and /or keep him barefoot on soft ground and keep a nice short breakover to get him to land heel first and build up the inner structures so his entire heel area is stronger.
Wouldn't some sort of frog support be helpful here? So the foot isn't 'collapsing/prolapsing' in the rear and to share some of the weight-bearing from the weak walls?
Absolutely, but unfortunately I have to deal with trainers and some are totally against bar shoes. We build very light weight bars that fully support the frog
Can this glue work as a hoof and not put shoes back on?
The scaring going up the back of the heal is suspicious to me... along with how low slug the bulbs are.... I would be curious if the pressure of the shoes caused damage to the inner bone.
BEWARE !!!! anyone thinking of attending the RED TOMLINSON school of horseshoeing, DON'T DO IT. RED IS A THIEF! He hides behind PO boxes,emails and cell phones so you can't track him down once you give a deposit. He will NEVER call you back with a time or place to meet for your first class.
Very good video! We've tried barefoot and shoes. Have had much better performance with shoes due to barrel racing and to keep the horse in shape, using her every day in training. Has had low heels and our farrier did exactly what this video shows. Worked well until the substance broke off. After using this twice, heels are good now!
The feet were looking really good until shoes were put back on. I was wondering the same, if this stuff would stay intact without the shoe there? Could be a really good alternative.
The glue will stay adhered very well. the problem is the direction the wall is growing, it grow forward. our goal is the raise the angle for easier break-over. To re-direct the growth pattern is next to impossible. I will be posting some severe cases with excellent soundness results
I am a huge fan of horses being barefoot, it is the best thing for them, depending on what they do for a living. I have many barefoot horse brought to me because of hoof tenderness. Some that have been over ridden on hard surfaces without shoes. Those horses pay a high price, that being foot abscesses
omg...I have watched whole video and was thinking "goood...now horse will be better" and than you put again shoes on!.... :( The proces will be here as long as shoes are on.. The thin wall and contracted and underrun heels are result of not working hoof mechanism and it's because of the shoes which doesn't allow it.
That was my reaction too. I would like to know if this glue could be used as a temporary aid in a barefoot approach and if it would stay on the foot long enough for enough foot to grow and just trim it off like when it's time for a trim?
He says the problem is thin hoofwalls, well I wonder how much all that RASPING you see on the hoof wall is the MAIN CONTRIBUTOR of that. Farrier are taught to rasp off hoofwalls on a regular basis to make the hoof "look nice". He's not a "thin walled horse", he was MADE thin walled by typical farrier practice of "dressing down the wall," and having long heels didn't help none either.
after the treatment the horses frog still doesn't touch the ground. The devastating effect of shoes will go on. Barefoot trim is in my opinion the best solution.
my horse had one low heal and one high heal. I wedged him with a pad on the low heal and it helped a lot...but i like him bare food in the winter...but then he shows signs of lameness. What can i do other than shoeing him in the winter?
Great videos, I'm really happy for what you're doing for these horses. Race horses have a hard row to hoe, so many foot problems, long toes low heals, this will really help a lot of them.

Is there an update to how this hoof grew back?

Nice job! Would it be better to have the heels on that shoe extend further back for support?
Barefoot horses (with and without having their flares rasped off) get under-run heels too.

Were those fibers you put in the glue from tha sack you used to put the foot on? I've been wondering about using Kevlar fibers.

That was fibreglass fibers--duh!

I'm talking about before he ever used the fiberglass, and what led to the thin walls to begin with.
