This is an aluminum wedge shoe with an aluminum plate welded in and an additional plastic wedge applied. This is done in conjunction with the veterinarian’s radiographs to determine precise angles and break-over position. This horse competes to the I-2 level in dressage, but has had some soundness problems and is now (knock on wood) back in training thanks to the vet and these shoes.

The right front is changing dramatically. With the heels coming back to a better position and the toe becoming more normal, the angle needed to be adjusted again per radiographs.

    Aluminum is used in cases where wedges and plates are needed because the same package made from steel seems too heavy on most horses.
