Hi there, I am looking for opinions on these feet please.
this is the mare I posted about 3 weeks ago, lame, she was diagnosed with corns/low heels. vet thinks she needs remedial farrier, heart bars. I took her shoes off 3 weeks ago and she has been turned out since. she has a small feed of speedibeet, linseed and pro hoof platinum. her feet don't seem to grow, well, they splay out sideways but have never appeared long at the toe. have owned her 18 months.
what do you think? will she recover barefoot? is this an option? x rays showed heels looking very low. what would you do? I would rather barefoot than remedial farrier.
thanks in advance.
