To keep this short and sweet, my own farrier was on holiday and spud came in a bit short so i called an emergency farrier who then left him in an awful way. My own farrier bless him came out as emergency as soon as he came home (and didn't charge me) but was not able to do much until he grew out a bit but helped make him a little more comfortable or as comfortable as he could. He was genuinely shocked at how he had been left, every shoe was warped but he felt it would make things worse to take them off encase his hoof spread too much and his heels wore off even more than they had been taken. So he said give him a couple of weeks off and he'll come back as soon as any growth is there.
We have maybe another two or three goes every few weeks to get him back to normal, but he is walking normally now at least and can be brought back into work. First pic is a day or so after first farrier did him.
