I'll find a way. Guess I'll look into some others. Thanks.http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=28968Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:12:49 GMTIs there a way to keep them sharp, face? Does that make a difference?http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=28960Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:37:59 GMTWith nippers you get what you pay for and they will not last forever. I would go for the better ones. The one I using now was recommended by a farrier and cost about $100. It is wroth every cent!http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=28954Tue, 17 Jan 2012 04:50:14 GMTjust saw a place for this under health and supplements. sorry, if this can be moved that would be nice. :)http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=28947Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:19:38 GMTAm planning on ordering hoof nippers next month. I really need them. I do my own horses feet and they all have been barefoot since...forever. I'm running into problems with two horses because they don't get ridden much. Frisky's back hooves are not lookihttp://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=28946Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:17:59 GMTThanks for all the info. I appreciate it! =)http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=26430Fri, 16 Sep 2011 19:00:59 GMTWe have a paint gelding with "slightly clubby" front feet, the right moreso than the left according to his pre-purchase vet check. As long as we keep him on a 6-7 week shoeing schedule and keep shoes on his front feet, he does absolutely fine.&nbsphttp://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=26380Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:48:17 GMTI went looking. Now I know what a grade 3 is.

You should email him and ask that. One of mine has a club foot but it was developed from years of pin-firing on the track. I should post a pic of his pin fire scars.

It made her gait a little weird but she was sound her entire life (which was over 20 years). My recommendation would be to get a vet check and also possihttp://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=26368Tue, 13 Sep 2011 21:45:32 GMTI am considering buying this 5 month old draft colt. I was looking at him today and noticed that he has a club foot. (about a grade 3) I'm wondering how hard this is to correct and would you consider it "a deal breaker" on buying him.

Hope she is done with whatever it was!http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=24992Sun, 24 Jul 2011 00:13:13 GMTWell i think that she is offically all better as of right now. Im sure she will do something again down the road. Today she came running for her feed and after she was running with her tail up and her head going side to side kicking at her pasture buddhttp://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=24990Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:23:08 GMTYEA!!! for no limp. Hope she is well on the road to recovery.http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=24981Sat, 23 Jul 2011 12:39:56 GMTShe is on pasture with lots of grass, no hay, and her half gallon of feed. Where we live its been 100+ degrees for 27 days straight, had no rain at all yet, the ground is bery dry and cracked so she probablly just stepped wrong or something.

Literally the whole back of a foot would blow out. It just takes time. I started using BOSS when I got him and we are convinced it makes a significant difference.http://forum.horse.com/fb.ashx?m=24946Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:19:23 GMTWhat are the ground conditions like that she lives on? What's the weather been like? How much movement is she getting? Is she out on pasture and grass, or in a stall on hay? What's going in her mouth? Yes, I know the thread that you speak of.
