4th Barefoot trim |
Re the hoof in the pictures. I am paraphrasing, but my understanding of the circumstances is this. The carer was advised that the hoof in these photos would be damaged if taken barefoot. It had a deviation and wouldn't be able to cope without a shoe.
The hoof has now had 4 barefoot trims, and typically works over a variety of surfaces 6 days a week, sometimes for several hours.
The hoof does have a deviation, but it is relatively minor and doesn't seem to trouble the horse. We do take care to make sure the hoof is well balanced post trim.
Q. Look at the front view and then the solar view. What would happen if the hoof were trimmed from the top without taking proper reference to the landmarks in the solar view?
