Red - a history (or All about bar shoes, support and shock-absorption)

Red arrived here 2 weeks ago and of course I have photos of her from the day she arrived.

Better still, thanks to Sez (aka Oberon), Red's earlier photos have also been posted to me via Facebook, and the history of her hooves over the last 6 months, including her remedial shoeing, is very interesting.
I'm going to let the photos speak for themselves and give you the dates - the first is when she was in bar shoes, in August 2012.
Now its November 2012 (hint: she has already made progress).
February 9th 2013, when she arrived here...
and today, nearly 2 weeks later.

The business end - palmar shot in bar shoes, August 2012
Same shot in November - heels and digital cushion SO much better...
...and today - move even loading and much more substantial. 

Which foot is the better for shock absorption and balance? Did the bar shoes actually provide support?

What do you think?
