Back specialist

My farrier has sugested that I have my horses back checked as when he is shiong him he says that he his wearing his shoes down slightly unevenly to the inside.

I wonder if this is a bit oTT at none of us ever walk dead even and I would assume that this is the same for horses due to different conformations.

And it is only slightly uneven and is easily corrected at the next shoeingand her is shod every 5 weeks....

what are your thougths should I get his back checked bearing in mind I am a little strapped for cash as I have spend an awful lot of money on him lately for vaccs and vet fees etc

or would you say that this is probably is conformation.


He works well and has no issues being ridden, and had a 5 star vetting last year which he passed with flying colours.

Possibly conformation or just her action - one of my mares lands completely differently on both her front feet - if it was a stiffness when he's doing your horses hind feet then it might be worth it but not for a little uneven wear.

If your farrier has only just commented on this, I would assume that it is a new problem and therefore worth checking out.

Might be an idea i always see a huge difference after a physio session, maybe just wait a while and start putting money away now, where abouts are you? Maybe ring up a local number and find out how much it'd be, I used to pay £65 for two horses, then i moved and paid £90 for one! And today I paid £40 for one horse and was much more impressed than the £90 one!

Never really see the harm.

Also as a person who is very unlevel, how nice is a massage!!
Ponio will appreciate that let alone if there is any issues that need sorting
