I think the toe might be a bit long still, and I could’ve gotten that heel nail up a little bit more. Curious what everyone else sees

I have a contest coming up that I’m practicing for (and journeyman cert). This is a pair of hammer Looking for some feedback on these shoes. The class is a pair of toe clipped, hammer finished plain stamped fronts. 5 1/4 x 5 1/4.

I bumped .5” into the toe on both, and tried to taper the inside branches but didn’t get them tapered as much as I wanted. Also ran out of propane at the end so I didn’t get the last cleanup heat that I wanted. All total I think it was 7 heats each

The things I’ve already docked points for is the toe nail on the lateral branch of the right, toe clips were kinda small, racked toes, and I burned them. Bonus points for wrecking my punch

Please roast my shoes (more than I did while forging

Owner said he pulled a shoe two weeks ago and seemed footsore after. She asked if I saw anything that could be causing the soreness.

As a matter of fact I do

Looking for some insight on this guy’s frogs. All 4 look like this. The owner is a vet, but neither one of us have seen anything like this. She was thinking it may be a precursor to canker, but I’m leaning more towards environmental causes. We went from drought to 5+ inches of rain over the last week. I trimmed a good amount of frog and didn’t hit any sensitive tissue

Older draft horse

ETA: the central sulcus has pretty much separated from the rest of the frog
