The feet below have all recently had the shoes removed.
I've removed the shoes from a fair few horses. A common theme is the poor health of the foot when the shoe comes off. I have yet to remove a shoe from a foot that has been in perfect condition.
The things we tend to find are:
- terrible smell
- thrush
- white line separation
- contracted heels
- squishy contracted frog
- thin sole
- crumbling walls
- laid over bars
- shallow collateral grooves
- really long walls
