This. Ive used the "the vet was here last week and they were wondering why his feet are looking different and if you're shoeing him differently to fix a problem" approach. Id give him a chance to explain why hes doing what hes doing. Just because they looked neat before, may not mean they were being shod correctly for that horse. I had a horse come to me with very "neatly" shod feet, except he had a club foot which the previous owners said needed 4 weekly farrier to keep on top of. Over a long period of time my farrier slowly "fixed" it and that hoof looked pretty normal by the end and it caused no issues. Reliable farriers are hard to find IMO so Id give him the chance to explain what hes doing. If you dont agree, then part ways.
Hi, this was from September last year - I changed farriers around November time and it was the best decision- so glad I did. My horse's feet are SO much better and he moves a lot more comfortably.
