Hi there
I wonder if I could get some opinions, I looked at a sweet 5yr old today to buy who clearly needs to see the farrier (dealer says he will book him in asap). Her front feet are shod and will be fine once the farrier has worked their magic, you can see from the photo the back feet are unshod and I am not very impressed with their condition. My question is, do you think they look bad? and do you think one visit from the farrier will sort them out or will it take a few visits to get them tidy again? She rode fine, and is very calm - especially for 5, so I am very tempted to buy her but these feet concern me a bit. As an add on she also had one snotty nose, not yellow or smelly more white'ish, but do you know if the vet will check this out when the check is done?
Thanks for any advice, she will be for my daughter and it's been a while since I was in the horse world...
