The farrier was out today for the usual trim. If anyone saw my other thread about her being footsore- she didn't react to hoof testers and doesn't appear to have any bruising and is fine I decided to ask if he thought she would cope barefoot and he said there's no harm in trying, so the shoes have came off. We will just have to see how she copes.
So all you hoof anoraks out there, I would appreciate information on hoof boots, ways to keep out infection (esp. important as she is missing some hoof wall in the front her feet) and any other useful resources and advice are welcomed
I took some pics of her feet but she wasn't being particularly co-operative
Left-fore
Right-fore
It's amazing to compare her front and back feet, they honestly look like they should belong to different horses. Hopefully we'll also get rid of those deep clefts!
