They look ok from these pictures, but really, if you want good critiques, you need to take the pics from 90 degree angles to the front and side, camera on the ground, with the horse standing squarely on a firm, flat surface, and 90 degress to the sole. How old is the filly? The next to last picture looks like there is some flaring on the left side (or the wall was left too tall, or the angle of the picture is making it look this way), and that shouldn't be there. It looks also like that side heel is taller than the side where your hand is. But again, the angle of the picture could be distorting reality. The first picture makes it look like the right side of the wall is too high, causing the leg to come into the foot at an angle it shouldn't be. If it's just the way she's standing, that makes a difference, but again is the reason why the horse and pictures need to be set up correctly. You might also want to get this moved into the Health section - will probably get more traffic from folks like Rick and Sue

First photo( left, sole view) The bar on the left side is to tall, the heels are too tall and it really doesn't look like he even put a rasp across the foot. Third photo to the right(sole view) Same problems as in the first photo. I am assuming that these are different feet, and if so, then your farrier has 'trimmed' the two the same--too much bar on the left side, heels too high, and no evidence of even touching the foot up with the rasp(on the solar surface). Fourth photo(both feet in picture) It may be the angle of the camera, and it may be the ground, or both, or neither, but it looks like the pasterns are not centered in the hoof capsule and the horse is, in effect, leaning in on its medial walls. It would also be helpful if, when you post photos, you label them right or left, front or hind.
