Don't get me wrong - my own horses often end up with unbalanced feet! But if Saxony's having any problems, it'd be important to keep on top of the trim - at least every 4 weeks, preferably more often. I wouldn't worry about the crookedness in her legs, and her if hoof grows skewy to compensate, that's fine. The main thing is to trim to the important landmarks in the hoof.<br /><br />Where her heel landing is now, she's landing so far from the ideal weight bearing spot in her foot that I would expect she'd be having significant problems.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428008814751524182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948751560813372065.post-23349957452608648862011-01-20T18:44:00.395-06:002011-01-20T18:44:00.395-06:00Thanks!

The heel landing (at the base of the "u" or "v" where the bar and heel meet) should be level with the back of the frog - looks like it's a good inch or two forward of that in the RR. The RF looks more like 3". The frog looks elongated. The true apex of the frog is probably considerably further back than what appears. I'm guessing breakover in these feet is an inch or two forward of where it ideally should be.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428008814751524182noreply@blogger.com
