I look forward to seeing you at the barefoot yahoo group. If you're interested we could do your horse as a case study there; we present a case to a panel of experts who weigh in with their opinions and suggestions. You’re welcome.

Solar views are not enough to decide how to properly balance the foot. I'll also need the hairline from the front, the side, and the heels down shot where you hold the pastern and let the foot hang. That one shows you if the boney column is twisted. Please email your pix, I would love to see them. You can also join my barefoot yahoo group to discuss your case, the JOIN button is at the bottom of the photos on the right hand side on the front page. Christina Hi Angela,

I have a horse with conformational issues, diagnosed with navicular 4 1/2 years ago, barefoot... comfortable and in work however still struggling with some issues. Pigeon toed, thin outer hoof wall, inner wall much thicker, frog off centre and pointing towards outer wall. I try to balance the hoof each time I trim. If I were to e-mail you a solar view of the hoof would you be able to give me any advice please. Many thanks Angela Hi, have just come across this thread and wondered if you may be able to help.

In more straightforward cases, there is a thicker wall and a thinner one, with the thin one wearing more quickly. The horse had not been trimmed in at least 4-6 months at the time it looked like this. The walls are the same thickness in this particular case, but they are very thick and strong, so they were not wearing at all. So having said that, she probably had some muscular issues resulting from the too long toes. It’s hard to say.
