Hello: As a new member with a 25 yr old Miniature that has Cushings, I suspect is IR, has foundered in the past (approx. 15 yrs ago) and has had chronic laminitis issues these last few years and

Agree that the trimming/shoeing has likely been a major contributor to the problems in these feet. The issues are fairly common in OTTB horses. Agree that more frequent trims are definitely the way to

Hi Emma, Don't worry too much about the poor hoof quality at this stage. Just keep the rough edges and leverage off. Though the feet aren't labelled, I'm assuming they are fronts. You might have a

Hi Emma, None of that chipping is anything to worry about, just rasp it smooth and lightly bevel the bottom edges under. As the health of his feet improves and the trim removes the excess toe length
