Hi guys would you lovely lot mind having a look at these barefoot feet for me and giving me your opinion? This is my big guy Freddie who’s been barefoot for approx 6months now

The hoof in the first picture, and the first hoof on line three show signs of thrush. Scrubbing the soles with soap and water, good rinse, and a spray with 1% iodine will help to clean things up and allow the heels to spread. Otherwise, not looking too bad. It's possible the thrushy hooves have higher heels than they should, but it's not easy to tell from the angle of the photo. Please do not trim to the correct height too quickly - take your time and take them down bit by bit as the frogs heal. Good luck!

That's interesting because he's had a pulse in that foot for a couple of days and not been quite right

Expect newly barefoot horses to throw in an abscess or two as the internal structure of the hoof remodels itself. But obviously, laminitis is different, if you think you are dealing with a flare up, keep a close eye on things.
