Appreciation post: That time a front shoe took me 3 hours longer than it should have
I had a client's horse with a quarter crack that kept splitting every time I tried to nail on the new shoe. I ended up having to rasp the wall back way more than I planned, then shape the shoe with a clip on the opposite side to take pressure off. What I thought would be a 45 minute job turned into nearly 4 hours of reworking and checking fit. Has anyone else run into a crack that just keeps going no matter how careful you are?

Tell me about it... I had one last month where I finally just stood back and asked the crack if it had any other life goals it wanted to pursue, because it was clearly more dedicated to splitting than I was to fixing it. Ended up doing the same thing, rasping it back to what felt like a nub and bending a shoe into a weird pretzel shape.
