Negative Foot Plane

[Halfpass]

Anyone come across this and how easy is it to diagnose?

Is it something that can be picked up by a good remedial farrier without x-rays etc?

And final question - could you say that a horse may potentialy have this problem in the future just by looking at their feet as a youngster?
