I mean, I used to think that kind of glass was just cheap and poorly made when I saw it do that. But watching it flip from foggy to clear with the clouds, it's actually all about the light hitting it from a certain angle. Makes total sense now, even if it looks like magic at first. You really should tell people so they don't think you messed up.

Think about how the hoof wall changes over time. I've seen senior horses with cracks that shift weight to the sole. Would a different nail pattern spread pressure better? Maybe combine pads with a slight lift to help with joint pain. Have you tried checking the fit after a few days of movement? Sometimes the shoe settles in a way you can't guess on the stand.

Yeah, totally get that. Used to be so stubborn about just eyeballing it. That one time the whole section tipped over was finally enough to make me grab a pencil first.
