I took fronts off my connemara at the start of lockdown so around mid March time. She’s had a few trims since I think with my farrier who did her when she had shoes.
This is her front right, didn’t have time to get all four but was just interested to see what people far more knowledgeable than me think? Sorry also a bit dark now I look at the photos properly but i was avoiding the sunshine!
I think I can see a better angle growing down from the coronet? She’s a tiny bit footy on fine stoney paths but we only have a tiny bit of that on our hacks. She’s also much better coming back which makes me think it’s napping. Other than that she is good to walk trot canter, we’ve gone xc barefoot a few times and sj on grass. Also done a bit of roadwork. Her feet were last trimmed about 3 weeks ago. I think the event lines are where she’s swapped fields. They’re even width the whole way round her hoof.
She’s on a meagre handful of honeychop and some pony nuts with a general vit&min, mag ox, cupra (for a few more days) and agnus castus. At the moment I soak her hooves every few days when it’s very dry and the farrier did put some Artimud in her grooves when he was here last as said they were looking a bit gross from standing in her wee ?.
Any tips/improvements/things to mention at next trimming are much appreciated!
