Re: What did I do wrong this time

I'm sure Lavinia will comment too but IMO those feet are way too underrun to be suitable for riding. Shoes can't fix this. The horse needs a rehab trim, described here

Re: Update on Isaac

Re: Hooves look terrible ?? Need asssistance with hoof trimming with hoof mark-ups

Okay. I didn't realize I needed pictures of back feet too. Will do ASAP. Is it same 4 views as fronts? Will concavity and heel views also be needed? I apologize for so many questions beforehand.

Hi Jean, We really need a case history to help you out. If you did not change anything after getting that test result there's no reason to think that a test now will show a positive change in his
