Solicitation Number 1284LM24Q0023

Shoeing Specifications:

The purpose of these specifications is to reduce the leverage against the bone column throughout the shoeing cycle that cause long term pathologies.

Trimming for shoes (horses) The typical trim for shoes are as follows: Find the true tip of the frog (can be used as a reference point for sole depth and later shoe placement). Exfoliate the sole to the live/shiny sole and stop. If the frog is buried deep within the foot, being the opposite of a flat or plattered footed horse, a pair of hoof testers is recommended to test the sole depth and or identify if “false live sole” is present and if that is determined, it is then recommended that knifing carefully the sole away to reduce the sole depth somewhat to help keep a good and or positive plane to the coffin bone. The frog should not be excessively trimmed. A very prominent frog, if present, should be left. If the frog shows excessive chalk, then trim the frog to healthy material. Once the sole plane has been determined (where the live sole meets the hoof wall), trim the hoof wall to the sole plane and it is recommended not to invade live sole at the heels. It is also recommended to leave 1/8” of heel (more is not necessarily better) to help maintain the plane of the coffin bone in a healthy position. The feet will be brought forward to address the flares on the dorsal surface, medial, lateral flare if present as well.

Trimming for shoes (mules) Much of the procedure for trimming horses for shoes will apply to the mules. Trimming the frog should be very conservative. Exfoliate the sole down to shiny material and stop. Find where live sole meets the hoof wall (sole plane). Again, if the true tip of the frog is buried deep within the foot, hoof testers is recommended at the toe area, for the same reason as above. Trim the heels back as far as they will go to the back of the foot without invading sensitive tissue at the heels. The feet will be brought forward to address usually the dorsal flare but if medial, lateral flares are present, they will be removed.

Shoe Shape & Placement:

Shoe Shape: All shoes used will be broaden at the toe or squared, similar to squaring a shoe for a hind foot. The front, in some cases, won’t be as square as behind. This is to provide a broad base of break over and to move the toe nail holes out and allow for easier shoe fitting per Ninemile guidelines. No horse or mule will be perimeter shod. Shoes will be placed and fitted a minimum of 1/4" behind the white line OR in accordance with the guidelines below:

Shoe placement: Our optimum is 40% of the mass of the foot to the front from the middle of the bone column, coffin joint or (Duckett’s Dot) to the point of break over of the shoe, 60% of the mass of the foot to the rear or posterior of the foot. If this cannot be attained, the earlier guideline will be followed no less than 1/4" behind the white line to the point of break over of the shoe. It is not necessary to use a smaller shoe to fit the foot in this manner. We would like to see 1/8” of the shoe behind the heels and to the sides, more if necessary or if the stock manager and farrier agree. Some expansion for the heels will be left. Medial, lateral, imbalances will be addressed with expansion of the shoe for the support and protection of the cartilages. With medial lateral imbalances, a wide web shoe is preferred. This is for front and hind feet. With the little bit of foot that is present in front of the shoe or over the shoe, will be under cut at a slight angle not dubbed.

Break over guidelines:

Distances are approximate to the point of break over of the shoe, from the tip of the frog:

Shoe sizes:

000 1/2” - 5/8 “ 00 5/8” – 7/8” 0 7/8” – 1” 1 1” – 1 1/8”
