Message #4836 of 4890 |

Hi,I have attachend pictures of my mares feet.She has been getting natural foot care for sometime now beginning July 2007 & I am concerned because her feet are still contracted.Any suggestions,ideas, or is this normal? She is a founder case.Here are pictures I took today.I trimmed the bars alittle thelast few days.I don't think my trimmer istrimming them & I am concerned this is apart of the problem but I may very wrong.There are pictures of her from October 2007 in the photo album if you want to compare.The pictures are her front feet only.Thanks!!

Rachel: How long since the last trim? These feet look very overgrown and due for a trim. I also see some serious infection in the back of the foot. Have you...	Kim Cassidy cuhailan	Jan 21, 2009 1:09 am

I've personally seen more problems created by over trimming of the bars than not trimming. Soles dropping due to no support etc. My horses rarely get their...	Meg Francoeur gallianomom2001	Feb 4, 2009 11:52 pm
This discussion leads me to a question. Background:�� When lowering the heels I slowly back them up but don't lower them any shoter than the frog. Still...	Radley Watkins rzwatkins	Feb 5, 2009 5:55 pm

I usually leave the frog along unless there are little flaps that will catch the dirt and bacteria or in cases of founder, where a frog that's overgrown will...	Meg Francoeur gallianomom2001	Feb 6, 2009 2:02 am
