Pablo | A shoeing package tailored to him 🩶
After an international season without knocking down a single fence, Pablo was ranked fifth among six-year-olds worldwide and travelled to Lanaken for the Young Horse World Championships. We’re incredibly proud to play a small part in his journey. 🏅
As Pablo progresses, we’ve tailored his shoeing to his hoof conformation and the surfaces he jumps on. One front foot is boxy and narrow, with a deep central cleft and a history of a sheared heel, while the other is flatter with a wider surface area. Our aim is to create symmetry between the two, encouraging even movement and stability through his limbs.
His heart bar provides positive frog contact, sharing load with the hoof wall and heels while creating a broader, more stable base. The Mustad ComfortMix packing artificially creates the same sole depth between the two feet, helping them achieve a more even footfall on a soft surface and limiting how much further the narrower foot sinks than the opposite foot.
We’ve paired this with a reversed concave section, allowing Pablo to find his own “sweet spot” and place his foot comfortably on landing.
Together, these elements make a package shaped around the needs of a very special horse. 🩶
