I don't know as I would have use the sheetmetal. So every time the horse puts weight on the hoof, The crack opened up a third of an inch. Thats why i put on the sheet metal. The shoes had a triangular shape ,The crack was badly infected .And goes from the ground and a quarter of an inch in to the coronaryband. The horse trotted out sound but the hoof looks like it belongs to a cow.
Time is what is needed now.
