Looking in particular at the 3rd and...Interesting. Looking in particular at the 3rd and 4th photos, it looks like he needed to straighten out the hairline (rearrange the internal structures?) as first priority, which gives an appearance of there being less heel and a longer toe in the 4 than 3 yet it's clear from the growth line in 4 that the foot when grown in will go back to having more heel. Is this cyclic kind of improvement common, and do you think it might be part of the reason that so many people seem to think that their horses feet get worse when shoes are removed? I ask because I've heard quite a few people say things like 'oh no, I tried taking his shoes off but his heels collapsed'. That never made sense to me before but looking at those photos I can see how they might get that superficial impression. Of course, looking at the sole shots tells a different story, but a lot of people don't look from that angle for some reason. 145 FDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485030894416936129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-16004751475646608172013-08-30T10:54:05.638+01:002013-08-30T10:54:05.638+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.amandaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645616368761221877noreply@blogger.com
