hi,

i am no expert at all but i think it would be easier to assess if there was a side on view so the hoof/pastern angle could be seen. A side on view would make it possible to compare the height of the heel with the height at the front.

As i said, i am no expert but the frogs look nice and healthy and the hoof walls all look nice and strong! The hooves look fairly symmetrical to me and seem to match each other.

I hope someone else can give a more informed opinion!
 
I would be very happy wth those feet. No excessive bar growth, nice frogs - no deep sulcus or clefts. Feet perhaps could do with a very mild trim - quarters growing a touch out of symatry re growth at front. could do with a mustang roll but if never trimmed of needed before then why tamper. Sole looks hard. Only real obeservation would be that there is some flare - being hypercritical here!!!! if horse has never been trimmed you have done an excellent job of conditioning the feet so they self trim as they look balanced and nice. I'm no expert on feet though.
