I just realized that when I took them there is a slight tilt to the pics Sorry

Hmmm.... overall I see toes that are still too long, heels that are still high and underrun, and shoes that are set on too far forward and leaving heels unsupported. It's hard to see the M/L balance given the uneven footing that Gage and Max are on. Dash's M/L balance looks to be ok, but about halfway down each front foot I see flaring that needs to start going bye-bye. Some of that will go a way simply by reducing the overall height of the foot, and the rest will have to be managed through the next several trims so that it doesn't continue and can be trimmed out with each trim.

She will be here tomorrow to talk to you all she is at home and has little time at hom to come and play with us...

Gage is overreaching still ... she got a line of BS when she asked the farrier about it

Should the flaring and other problems be gone after 4 trims on a six week scheadule??

[Dawn]

I hate to ask this as the answer seems obvious due to the discussion so far. But is this before or after the trim?

If it's after, I would be sorely disappointed and would have hated to see what they looked like before.

After Dawn if you look at the Ration Balancer thread I put up the befores are the best I got

I would have set both the breakover and heel support further back. I'd have used a rocker toed shoe or an NB shoe to do it.
There is evidence of coronary band jamming and in the photo of both fronts, even though the ground is uneven, there is a definate disparity in the wall lengths(medial to lateral) of the right front. There is also a bit of flaring that could be dealt with. Its hard for me to know if more hoof could be removed from the bottom because there are no solar views so we don't know what the bottom looks like.

Some definate coronary jamming on both laterals, the toes here do look too long to me and again, I think the breakover and heel support needs to be addressed more.

Again, I see issues with breakover and heel support locations, though there is no coronary jamming visible. The right front appears to have a broken back HPA which might be improved by trimming, breakover/heel support location and/or wedging with frog support. It appears that the left front shoe has been set back a bit, but the breakover is still set at the leading edge of the shoe and that is still too far forward for me. And I don't think there is enough/proper heel support. There is also some flaring at the quarters, especially on the left front, but depending on the wall thickness, there may not be a lot of flare removal possible.

Can you get some photos of the bottom of the feet?

[Morri]

I wholeheartedly agree! LOL Nothing to add.

[PeggySue]

I will go tonight and get solar shots hopefully!!!

I forgot them sorry
