When my horse goes over a jump his two front feet tend to clip against each other and so he has a few small chunks taken out of them as he clips them quite a bit,
was wondering if anyone has the same problem and if there is anything you can do about it. I’ve got overreach boots and i’m not currently wearing them when jumping as i have tendon and fetlock boots but i’m sure i can put them on as well.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

I don't think there is anything you can do to stop the issue other than protection with the overreach boots. It could be a strengthening issue. In that case trotting poles/raised trotting poles.
