Thin Sole? Thin Wall? Here's How We Shoe with Pads

In this video, we assess a lame horse and develop a shoeing plan before getting started. The horse has thin soles, thin walls, and was previously barefoot.
Our approach:
We begin by trimming the foot, then apply a shoe paired with a leather pad. We chose leather because it closely mimics the feel and function of the natural sole.

The purpose of the pad is twofold:
👉 To protect the thin, sensitive sole and diseased frog
👉 To support the underlying soft tissue while allowing safe, comfortable movement

This method provides both protection and relief for a fragile-footed horse working its way back to soundness.
