Okay but is it always that big of a deal? Sometimes a pad does the job just fine if the horse isn't showing any pain. Not every horse needs a three hour custom shoe job. Old ways aren't always the best ways just because they're old. It sounds like you're making a simple problem way more complicated than it needs to be.

Wait, you mean the thing where you soak a dish overnight? That's not a small step, that's just avoiding the problem. You still have to scrub it in the morning.

Feel your pain, that's awful.

Yeah, a good tensioner is a total game changer.
