From Richard:

“When you have a chronic laminitic horse with a grade 4 clubby foot it’s sometimes necessary to de-rotate the hoof capsule. Many times you just can’t take the heels down enough to correct the alignment.

We originally used a reverse wedge pad and shod this horse in nail on shoes.

This last set we applied GluShu glue on horse shoes. We created a reverse wedge using Farriers Choice -Flex Grip tan urethane then applied the shoes.

I am very hopeful for some increased comfort for this horse.”
