Need a Helping Hoof?

Filly has now had 2 trims at a one week interval. These are before & after pictures. It's quite noticeable in the before picture that her heel is very under-run & the hoof angle is too low & sloping. While it's better than when she was walking on her heel bulbs, the before picture really shows how bad her hoof was deforming from her leg problems. The bars of her hoof were folding over & her frogs were smashing over as well. The outside bar was actually folded over & touching the hoof wall on the underside. It's too bad we didn't get pictures of the bottom of her hoof pre & post trimming. In the after picture it's obvious that the heel is coming back under the hoof, giving Filly a much better base of support. Her hoof angle is also much improved. She is now using her hoof correctly by landing heel first & not rocking back, which lifts the toe off the ground. Her next trimming appointment is in 1 1/2 weeks. Thanks so much Trimmer for helping get Filly better & for fitting her special schedule into your busy schedule. We can't tell you how much you're appreciated.
