  • Which dremel bit are you using? One if the turnip shaped high speed cutters?

  • He implied, or said, that the horse had come in here... He'd worked at balancing the hoof, and over time, the problem continued...and now he's doing this. I have a horse with this issue on a hind foot and am ready to try "thinning" the squished-in side. Long story shortened, I was forced to use a "natural" trim farrier when no other farrier in the new area I boarded my horse at would take his toes back as needed and successive work by this guy lamed my horse. I'm now back closer to an area wit

  • I know your theory here.

    This is caused by imbalance.

    I lower the the opposite side of the hoof to bear more weight in which it is usually flared. Instead of creating a weak groove I just rasp the wall thinner to relieve the pinch caused by contraction.

    Followed by a soak and application of moisture inhibitors also helps expansion.

    I dislike the use of power tools used on horses.

    A crutch for the lack of hand skills.
