Thoroughbred Mare With Collapsed Heels (Heart Bar Shoeing)

Hi I’m a farrier from the uk today I applied heart bar shoes on a mare with collapsed heels. The heart bar shoes will help distribute her weight evenly around the hoof. With this hopefully over time she will grow stronger heels.
Don’t forget to like and subscribe to my channel as I upload horse shoeing and trimming videos on a regular basis.
Hope you have a great day and I’ll see you on the next video 🤙

I am wondering if you have done a follow up video of this mare. I would love to see if she has improved. Thank you such a great video, even though you posted it a year ago, I just watched it tonight. I also wanted to comment of the interesting barn and buildings, where I live we don’t get to see a whole lot of that beautiful old architecture. ❤️❤️

Hey there Pete, I hope you're all well and good! Bully for you, finally some commentary from a Farrier, I know that I'm not alone in wanting you guys to give us some insight into why and what you're doing! You said this horse had a collapsed heel, which I would say had no heel, was this caused by genetics, injury, or improper shoeing, which would be my guess? I noticed that you left as much heel as possible, but I would think it's going to be a long process to get her off her heels. Another great job on a hoof in need of some corrective shoes. I hope you have a good one! 🐎👍🇺🇸

I am good thanks mate hope you are doing well. With this horse I would say more down to age and breed. The bar shoes should hopefully help but expectations should be realistic due to age. I will make sure to do a bit more explaining on my future videos.

@@Peterthefarrier Thanks for the reply, how old is she?

[@Peterthefarrier]

@@RealJohnWayne I think she is about 20 years old.

[@RealJohnWayne]

@@Peterthefarrier Thanks, that'll do it.

[@Peterthefarrier]

@@RealJohnWayne I will do a update video in 6 weeks. I think we should be in a better place by then.

I have one question have you ever needed to put different types of heels on horses say the back are really strong in their front are really weak

[@Peterthefarrier]

Yes you can. This mare has heart bars on front and normal shoes behind.
