showing with pigeon toes

[michelleice]

also in CR


I'm thinking of putting my boy in hand/ridden classes at shows next year if i can but never showing a horse with pigeon toes does this affect him? only talking local shows nothing major

 

[ofcourseyoucan]

does he move straight, plait or dish? your farrier can raise the toe clips to give an illusion of straight feet, or you could put quarter clips on fronts to disguise worst of pidgeon toes, but does he have pidgeon legs? look at leg /foot confirmatiion /movement to see where problem originates from

hes on natural balance shoes give him the look of straightness its his hoofs not his legs

If you get good at standing him up then it is something that can be hidden in halt. All you can do is disguise it and try and see. Another thing to try is the absorbine black hoof polish which will disguise any stripes in his hoof which could make it easier to see.
