Sometimes BOLD Just Works Better

Some feet demand a BOLD shape shoe to match up to the natural shape of the hoof. The SX-8 BOLD front shoes can save a lot of shaping time and give you a great finished job. Bobby Menker, CJF APF-I works with this right front and modifies a Kerckhaert SX-8 BOLD shoe to come up with a nice fit, with a rolled toe for a more comfortable breakover, and nailed with Liberty Cu 5 Slim horseshoe nails.

Bobby always checks the shape of the wall in relation to the coronary band by viewing from this position.
Trimmed and lateral flare removed. Clearly a broader toe shape than many feet.
The SX-8 Bold shoe already has a broad shape in the toe, with good width in the stock to provide strength, wear and the ability to modify.

Nailed up - horse is working in an arena so 4 nails are usually adequate provided the wall has good strength.
So when you run across bold - go SX-8 BOLD!
