    High / Low Hooves on very left-handed 3yr Old

    Get a Vet Physio onto this, I've worked with many like this, you're looking to get the timing of the trot even on both legs, physio and correct foot balance can really sort this. Sooner the better.

    High / Low Hooves on very left-handed 3yr Old

    There is a reason that the boxy foot is boxy, it is the passive weight bearing limb, but why? Anything in that limb from the foot up to the shoulder could be the reason, I'd start with a thorough investigation and veterinary physio treatment. Then I would get an expert trim to lower the...

    Hoof boots help pleeeease

    I've yet to meet a foot that doesn't fit an Old Mac G2, they're so very flexible in their fit. Excellent entry boot as your hoof trimmer advised.

    Has anyone had the Equibiome test done?

    I did it with one of mine 2 years ago, such technical, scientific report I was left reeling. Honestly, it may be of use, but be prepared to need a science degree to interpret it and not feel completely overwhelmed by it.....as I was.

    Coffin joints

    Usually you would see some relief from those injections. But in each an every case like you describe, the first thing you need to do is understand what a healthy foot should look like, then compare your horse's feet to that and make changes to achieve a healthy shape. This is the best way to...

    Sidebone. Tell me all your experiences please.

    The thing is, what caused the sidebone, as it in itself is a reaction to imbalance. That imbalance might be the true cause of the lameness. Can you share the xrays?

    One swollen udder producing milk - why?!

    It can be an early sign of cushings…..worth getting a blood test.

    Navicular?

    Well it's going to need constant management at best, depending on what life you expect from such a horse, its likely to be a deal breaker. I took one on for free, kept it barefoot, fantastic outcome.....but I'm a specialist. I wouldn't pay more than £500 for a horse with this diagnosis.

    Stubborn abscess

    I've had vets hold their hands up, and give up with feet like this. Keep going for a full 10 days over the coronary band, you'll get there.
