I've got a little horse who's pulling shoes bad right now.

He's in between shoe sizes and my farrier is getting in shoes that are apparently more of an in between size...

Better work or I'm on to the next farrier...

Location: Too Far North		I have a mare that overreaches and used to pull shoes. My farrier fixed it easily. He makes his own shoes and makes hers shorter on the heels. I think he called it a hunter heel. Basically cuts off the little overhang that she would catch them on.

Location: Roping pen		In my opinion and experience, you should never, ever, have any exposed shoe behind the heels on the front feet. But you must cover the apex of the heel-you only have about an eighth inch either way so the correct size shoe is a must---or as mentioned, you have to cut off some heel of the shoe...

Agree with this. The shoe should never trail off where they could catch it. A friend's father was killed when his horse went ass over tin cup because he caught the shoe when running.

Secondly, could he be catching it on something in the field? Another friend had a mare that would paw at the fence during feed time and would rip them off on the fence.

You may also want to try two pairs of rubber pull on bell boots.
