His left front had some gunk (technical term!) which has been used to build it up but as I didn't see it before hand I don't know how far up it goes or how bad it is!
I'm hoping to get the number of his old farrier so that I can have a chat to him about it but nothing so far I feel like I'm delving into the unknown a bit with him which is scary!
I was told it's just there as when the last shoe came off a chunk off hoof went with it.
So what do you think of these feet.
I'd like him to go shoeless in time but I'm already sure he'll need a fair amount of time to adapt + hoof boots!
He's now on a barefoot friendly diet the same as my mare and is being ridden 4-5 times a week out hacking.

Sorry about picture quality I took the pictures not long after he'd moved in and he was not keen on standing still! lol
I've had him a couple of weeks now and the yellow build up stuff has started to peel off slightly along the edge... so I'm now concerned about it!
