Belle has been without shoes for about six months now, mostly because she’s not ridden so much and she’s on the track.
Farrier is due this week, her feet look terrible, all the extra length has chipped itself off on her fronts, it looks like she’s had a ‘mustang roll’ from a really dodgy farrier! And her hooves are most definitely not level, yet she’s sounder than she’s ever been without shoes, she’s even comfortable over the gravel drive.
Question is should she be level? Or is she growing the feet she needs? I’ll be asking the farrier his thoughts on Thursday but not sure how worried I should be, if at all.
