Sore after farrier (being neurotic?)

[SadKen]

My girl was sound yesterday.

The farrier came today, before I arrived at the yard. When I brought her in she was slightly reluctant to move forward on grass and clearly footsore on gravel. I thought all four feet looked a bit footy with off side fore worse than the others. As it happens the chiropractor I was bringing her in to see is also an equine vet. The lameness was obvious in trot up, and the vet noticed a digital pulse on one foot. Vet thought possible nail bind, so farrier agreed to pop back this evening.

Hoof testers etc showed no reaction and farrier couldn't find an issue. YO was with my girl at the time, and said she was happy to pick up feet and fell asleep while all this was going on (as usual). There is no unusual stance but I don't think she's overly comfortable, and moved feet more than usual while tied up.

My girl went back to the field in relative comfort and very experienced YO saw no cause for concern.

So despite vet, farrier and YO all taking a look I have got myself in a dither thinking it's lami. Mare is not overweight, is strip grazed on the least lush grass in the paddock, is not cresty etc.

I'm by no means as experienced as all of the above so can someone give me a slap and tell me that an overenthusiastic trim of sole and frog (definitely been trimmed today)can produce the same symptoms?

Will of course get vet again tomorrow if concerned but it seems silly to get them back tonight when they have cleared her to go out. My brain won't shut up though!

Thanks to anyone who got this far!

Ahh, the power of our brains to worry!
You have probably already been reassured by now (I have insomnia tonight so you will probably have seen her in the morning before reading this) but yes, a close trimming can definitely produce these symptoms! I had a horse exactly the same that came100% right in a few days.
Laminitis would be unlikely to cause an increased digital pulse in just one foot and, although not impossible (due to its many causes) it doesn't sound like there is anything in your management that would have triggered a case and the vet would have considered this when looking at your horse.
So, perhaps just monitor but ring the vet if there is any sign of it getting worse if you are not happy that she has improved.
