Hooves I've Encountered

























 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When I was first out of school, I thought hooves like these were very challenging and scary to work on.  In the past two years, I have found these to be the "norm" and I've encountered hooves that are literally a foot long and horizontal on the ground and twisted like a licorice vine...with the frog pointing 90 degrees in the wrong direction.  I have been able to correct these hooves and make the horses/ponies sound again.  It's amazing what some regular and correct farrier work will do to fix an equine hoof.
