At the second level course in Ocala
held Jan 5 - 9, 2008, KC was presented with a horse
with chronic founder. X rays were available so KC
was able to trim the foot to the proper form in one
trim. In this photo we see the left foot has been
trimmed, while the right foot shows the shape the
feet were in.

While trimming, KC used hoof testers
to ensure that adequate sole thickness was present.

you can see the golden line in the toe area. |

Once the feet were trimmed KC
applied the new Perfect Hoof Wear™ to the foot. Another view showing the Perfect Hoof Wear™
being applied.

while the left hand ensures a smooth application. |

As the Perfect Hoof Wear™ starts to
set KC molds it into the collateral grooves.
