Hi, I have just started trimming Blue, Blue has not been trimmed for at least the last 8 to 9 months. So as you can imagine his feet are not on a very good shape :D. I have some photos for you, so that you can help me. I am thinking of just getting a farrier in, just to bring it back, and then I can keep it up after that. It's just the bringing it back to normal, that I am kinda scared of doing.
What do you think.

As you can tell I really really need to work on his heel :D.

They really don't look too bad from the sole shots for having gone that long without a trim. The heels on the fronts do need a bit of a trim, and all need a general tidy up. Can't tell how much flare there is from the sole shots. If you're not sure how to trim them then its best to get a farrier/trimmer as long as there is a good one in your area.

Thank you.

I do know of a good (from what my friend tells me) farrier, who has been reccomended to me. So will get him out and give you all more piccies :D.
