I want to know over all what you see and how you feel about them. Horse is around 18. Is worked lightly. Gets hay and pasture. Bit of an air fern.
I would like to give some of my thoughts/questions I've come across. His front and back feet are more upright on the medial side, and seem to spread out/flare on the lateral side. When looking at the sole view, especially on the fronts, the lateral side seems wider and I feel like the wall grows a lot faster. Is this simply his way of movement or trimming fault?
Also I noticed up around the front of the frog he tends to build a lot of sole. It follows the line of the bars.. but doesn't really look like bar material. I tried cleaning it out really well, but it seemed to just pop right back up like it wanted to be there so I left it alone. I just realized though I didn't get a picture.
It looks to me like his toes are still long and stretched and his heels could come back under more. Especially in the front feet. Its been at least three weeks since a trim.
Front Legs (Right First)
Right Lateral
