My younger TB has such oddly shaped front feet that my trimmer (who I haven't seen for about six months, lol), often says she'd love to see X-rays of his coffin bones. <br /><br />He bashed his right hip quite badly a few months ago being stupid - luckily no harm done to the bone but his muscles were very sore for a while, and in the months after this, his left front developed a huge lateral flare, so much so that he almost looked as if he had half a frog, as it migrated sideways to keep up with the hoof. <br /><br />The flare is now back to its normal shape and so is the frog.Jassy Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437246131687393120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-15218044501086034202012-10-16T19:01:54.180+01:002012-10-16T19:01:54.180+01:00You don't like show-jumping anyway, C ;-)You don't like show-jumping anyway, C ;-)Nic Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885459438592023135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-58983882394900869722012-10-16T18:41:03.386+01:002012-10-16T18:41:03.386+01:00Nic will you PLEASE stop telling people about this...Nic will you PLEASE stop telling people about this.<br /><br />Or I will not be able to pick up another pink papered KWPN showjumper for £1 when I want one :-))))<br /><br />My current rehab project, as Nic knows, is a horse whose history is that in shoes he goes lame in the front feet. Nothing on the xrays. Out of shoes, allowed to grow deviations, he is sound. When the farrier removes the deviations to make his feet look right. He goes unsound.<br /><br />It's not rocket science with this horse, is it? Leave the flare alone!!!!!<br /><br />Ccptrayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564275580390738561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-55159412389814723222012-10-16T16:06:58.258+01:002012-10-16T16:06:58.258+01:00LOL Amy - yes she has ;-)

I think for a lot of us that are trying to rehab lame horses into sound ones, until they get sound, we question a lot and want to help by trim/trim/trimming...but slowly I'm learning, the horse knows best and wait and see instead of lopping of material may work out better. It's tough, but it's slowly working for us....dare I say!Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-38951086365079146092012-10-16T12:56:57.035+01:002012-10-16T12:56:57.035+01:00Do you have some news to share Emma?
