I am a bit confused over my horses feet, he was only shod 3 weeks ago and they dont look very good to me.
They seem to be deterioating (sp) but I dont know why as he is on a feed balancer and I paint them everyday with Cornucresine Hoof Moisturiser so I think they are quite well looked after. The dark hoof was fine but now has lines in it and there is a bit of hoof missing from the toe. (since he was last shod).
I have discussed the crack with my farrier (I have another post about this sorry) and he said not to worry. My concern is wether my farrier is contributing to the problems . I just wondered if anyone can give me any advice.
Some of the pictures make him look like he has funny shaped legs, he doesnt its just the angle I took the photos but my camera went flat so I couldnt take any straight ones!
