Ideas for non conventional over-reach please!!

[chestnutmarelover]

Before I explain, no bright sparks just putting over-reach boots please!!! Tb out of racing last summer kept pulling shoes off, since his feet were in poor state I had shoes off for winter, he can't cope with our stoney tracks even with hoof boots so i'm thinkin fronts back on asap, anyway, problem being that he pulls shoes off (or moves them making himself lame) by catching hind toe on shoe at toe of front foot (how I don't know but he does!) if he doesn't pull shoe off he lifts it then when standing back down toe clip goes in sole Over-reach boots don't work in this scenario so any ideas pleeeeeease???!!! (With schooling his strides will improve but he does it turned out not ridden....)

My tb does exactly the same! He's also shod year around, even when not in work as iv got stoney tracks and he can't cope! Iv found having shoes with quarter clips on front feet helps (along with OR boots! ).

Forgot to add- tried quarter clips primarily to help with his tripping, he was a buggar for it! Since having them on, he no longer trips and shoes staying on is an added bonus!

these might help

not sure about the boots being worn in the field though - someone else might have more experience

Are his toes too long on his front hooves?
Did he over-reach and cut his heels when he was unshod/barefoot?

Have you looked at shoe secure? http://www.millcroftsonline.co.uk/Shoe-Secure

We had tripping too!!!! No toes aren't too long front or back, he has very 'round' feet for a tb

Tripping and pulling shoes are signs that the breakover is too late. Long toes are often the cause of this. Using double/quarter clipped shoes means that they can be set back to make the breakover happen sooner.

do you have any photos of his hooves?
