Had my horse Jeff shod a few days ago and the farrier said he had a club foot He said it wouldn't affect him with the type of things we do (mostly nothing currently, but otherwise hacking around) but he wouldn't make a competative horse - jumping etc as he was likely to go lame.
This surprised me as he is an ex racer - done steeplechasing, point to point, hunting. I wouldn't have thought he'd have had any kind of a career with a club foot.
I've never heard of club foot in horses - has anybody got any knowledge of this?
Thanks
