Dr. Paul Loe believes a horse’s ability to perform all begins in the feet. He says getting the feet balanced is fundamental to the way they move and to help prevent soreness. In this two-part video he demonstrates how to shoe a horse for optimum balance. The horse featured here had chronic foot pain with a grade 2 out of 5 lameness. Dr. Loe explains how he shod this horse over the past 18 weeks, concentrating on keeping the foot balanced according to each shoeing cycle.
