Exciting!!!

He's beginning to stand with the right hind further back than the left! This is a huge improvement-previously he always brought the right hind under his body, and the right fore would be behind the left- compensating and growing more heel as a result. Looking at xray angles alone will not tell you what the whole horse will. I am guessing that injury to the hindquarters caused him to favor the right hind, which he kept forward to compensate, which allowed more toe to grow which made it harder for him to land heel first which caused a snap in the fetlock on every stride and heel pain, probably navicular area.... and repeat the cycle. Then the foreleg compensates on the same side, causing what could be called a low grade club foot, with its corresponding increase in palmar angle of the coffin bone... Just shoeing for angles can seem to help, but for long term soundness, I believe removing the opposing forces and allowing the body God gave the horse to heal itself is superior.
