My boy is shod in front as he’s got flat feet and becomes footy when the ground is hard.

The nails on the inside of both shoes are constantly popping up, and he’s often cutting his legs when working or laying down. Farrier said it’s likely from the hard ground, and he’s heavy footed so the impact makes them ping up..

Other than getting the farrier to adjust them (luckily he comes once a week and doesnt charge me to reclinch) , is there anything I can do temporarily?
Hoof tape?
Overreach boots don’t cover them, but I will be using them while schooling so he doesn’t cut his pasterns (like he did today 😔)
