Cowboy is a 39 year old Quarter horse who has such arthritic knees that he just couldn't stand the pounding of nails anymore. The best option for his comfort is the use of glue on shoes. Cowboy has been fitted with 3 degree wedge aluminum shoes with side clips. The shoes are glued on using equilox.

An update from Cowboy's owner-

"Cowboy is walking slightly better than you saw after you were finished putting on shoes.  But the biggest improvement is in his eye...much softer and more relaxed so I know his pain has been greatly reduced. 
I sincerely want to thank you for the way in which you handled Cowboy.  I know you will be the one to make a difference in his life as he begins to learn that "Chris the Farrier" is his friend and will not hurt or scare him.  This is a priceless gift and one I am very grateful to you for giving to Cowboy"
