Are his feet a normal shape?

[welshied]

No pics, but my farrier seems to be leaving my youngsters feet really long at the toe and they seem to be going into a point and looking as though they are over grown he has a good 3 or 4 inches of length from the end of his frog to the point of his toe.
Could this be the natural shape of his feet or is he leaving his toes too long?

Sounds odd, could you get an opinion from your vet?

yeah i was going to ask them tomorrow as he is lame and they are coming out but am wondering whether his lameness is due to his feet?

cant u ask the farrier just to take them slightly shorter?

 

[welshied]

yeah i was wondering whether maybe he had done them for a reason like that will have to ask him about it will take pics tomorrow to show you its not that there long but they look like he has got a pair winklepickers on lol

 

[serena2005]

lol, its seems a bit strange why he wouldnt round his feet off

The shape of the foot at ground surface should mirror the shape at the corony band
