Yes I know how frustrating it can be...
Sally walks out each horse, before , during and afterwards, has the
angle gauge, two of them, each one for a different thing and yes does
a mustang roll on a lot of her horses.....she is not so much into a
lot of rasping off of the hoof wall like a traditional farrier, as it
weakens it over time, much like if you filed your nails and went up
close to your cuticle, it weakens it....so minimal filing on the
outside of the wall.....we hads a farrier out of the oaklahoma school
once who lamed our Icelandic for weeks, 6 weks I think it was, could
have been more.....he just cut deep into the sole....he really did
not understand the anatomy of a horses hoof after 8 weeks....of
course he only got to do 2 hooves a day 4 days a week....there was a
lot of forge work, he could make a shoe real nice, but I did not
trust him to put it on.....
