| Horrible.
The shoe is too small for the foot, this is going to cause contracted heels. You try wearing a boot size too small.
There should be 1/8" of shoe exposed all the way around the foot to allow for expansion and contraction.
Personally if this was my horse I would pull the shoes off immediately and get the farrier to come back out and try again |

Second one is better, but, pictures of the sides would help to critique more. |

Never ever do that, they are still a crappy farrier when they come back out only now they are pi$$y also. Find someone else. |

Location: North MS | 2nd picture- left side heel is longer than the right. That will definitely make the horse body sore. Not a balanced job. Looks painful to me with the heels elevated and contracting (hairline on heels forms a v instead of level) |

| I kind of think they are both horrible.
First one, shoe is too small.
Second one...if you turn your head sideways and/or line it up with a sheet of paper, the shoe is twisted or if nothing else, they aren't trimmed evenly.
I'd fire that shoer and get a new one asap! |

aside from the issues of twisted shoe and unbalanced feet... looks like too much heel is left on as well... in my unedumacated eyes |

Location: California | I went through this exact issue 2 months ago. Pulled her shoes after I rode her and she couldn't stop tripping. Unbalanced trim, shoes too small, front left was twisted a little. Went back to trimming her myself. Praying i find a good farrier when I move so I can get her shod! |

Contact board buddy 3turnsonspud. Her hubby is a farrier in SW South Dakota. He could possibly help you or lead you to someone closer. |

The nails are extremely low and the clinches look awful. Not enough heel support in my opinion. |
