If any of the barefoot experts have a minute could you have a look at my horse's hoof pictures please and give your opinions. Apologies for the second lot of pictures (taken in the field) so only the sole shots are particularly useful, although you can see the hair line/ hoof angle.

Thank you in advance

Not an expert, but his frogs do look thrushy, especially RH, that very deep crevise will need some attention. Is he sound? And what's his diet like?
 
I'm treating his frogs with red horse field paste so i'm hoping that will sort that issue. Hes not sensitive now when i pick out round his frogs like he used to be so i'm hoping its going/gone!
He lives out has hay/haylage mixed-the haylage is just like wrapped hay, he has micronised linseed, pro hoof, turmeric and a handful of winergy conditioning to mix it in to
Hes lame/stiff at the moment but thats coming from his arthritis rather than feet

may be worth trying turmeric everyone seems to be raving about it
