Finally got that tricky outside hind foot right after 3 years of shoeing

I was at a clinic in Lexington last spring watching a old timer demo on how he handles the outside hind on horses that want to lean into you. He showed me a way to brace my body closer to the shoulder and it made the whole thing click for me. Has anyone else had a random tip from a demo just completely fix something you've been struggling with?

Three years on one damn foot? Hell no.

Have you tried switching up your stance or using different foot placements? Three years on the same foot does sound rough, I've seen people have to adjust their whole posture to make it work. Your mileage may vary of course, but some folks find relief by alternating which foot they put weight on. I had a similar issue with a bad ankle once and it took forever to find the right setup. Just sharing what helped me, take it for what it's worth.
