New boy Prince arrived on Tuesday and he reminds me very much of Legend, who was here a couple of years ago - both in terms of his personality (both are Welsh cobs and I have a feeling they are related to each other!) and his feet.
He has gone a week or so longer on his shoeing than normal in order to come down here but even so these are clearly very long and under-run hooves.
However I would expect that - like Legend - he will grow in a new hoof capsule at a much better angle which should improve both his long toe and his weak palmar hoof.
As well as his toe first landing he has a medio-lateral imbalance which is worse on his RF and which is also demonstrated by the wear in his shoes.
