Found a nail way too close to the white line on a draft horse last Thursday
It was a big Percheron in for a reset. My boss said 'that's a bruise waiting to happen' and had me pull it and start over. How do you guys handle it when the old nail holes are already crowding the good spots?

Man, that's the worst. I've had to just go up a shoe size before to get fresh metal, even if it looks a little goofy for a week. Better than a lame horse.

Old Pete at the feed store said he once used a leather pad for a few cycles to let the hoof wall grow out past the old holes. Does that actually work or does it just trap moisture?
