Squaring off front toes

[Tarragon]

Just needs a trim but very normal.. that's what my horses hoof looks like when the toe gets a bit long and is due a trim. Although nowadays when that happens I take a bit of toe back because I know that's what the hoof needs.

When you say "take a bit of toe back", so you mean that you take a bit off the length as well as rounding off the hoof?

Yes exactly that. I trim the toe round back to where the natural breakover is - e.g. the squared off bit.

Here is the frog

I would definitely be treating that frog for thrush. Once he feels better on his frog, he should heel land more, and square the toes off less.
