I took these of Rex's feet tonight as I'm concerned about how they are growing. Farrier is coming at the end of the week.
Rex is unshod, never worn shoes. His feet are clearly overdue a trim (11 weeks since last trim, not done by my farrier but by the one the trainer uses. They are normally done every 8-10) and this is the first time I've really seen them like this. Both are on his off side,pic 1 is the fore and 2 is the hind.
He saw the physio 13 weeks ago who said he showed a slight weakness on that side but nothing to write home about.
He has an old splint on near fore and Capped his hock on the near hind 11 weeks ago but was never lame and it's gone down significantly.
Obviously I will get the physio out for another look st him too.
It's almost as though he must be standing on the outside of his hooves on that side..??? He showed no problems under saddle.
Thoughts/advice at all please..????
