Trim notes 8/12 He was shod with pads on fores, wedge pad on right hind, and no pad on Left hind. Pulled 8/12. Backed toes up to white line so he would be more comfortable for pulling hind shoes. He was more comfortable for working on the left hind when I put a squishy pad under his left fore. Fores show very little concavity- tip of frog is within 1/4 inch of the ground. =thin soles, distal descent. Tx=remove peripheral load by beveling off walls to white line at live sole to bring sole into active ground contact. Aim is to drive the quick up and j Forward flare from3/4 inch below hairline, dorsal aspect. = laminar stress, forward foot/long toe. Tx=back up toe vertically to white line Heels pinched together, frog bulging =contraction, thrush, toe first due to pain in heel or pain in heel due to toe first... either way Tx=lower heels to live sole, arch quarters, in addition to the above Result- moving comfortably on green pasture, sore on hard dirt. Shifts weight back and forth when standing for a while. Feet cold on 8/13/12 Hinds- sore in the hq so I just took down the walls to reduce peripheral loading.I could only trim from the top on the right hind- with his hoof on a brick- he hurt too much to let me hold it up or put it on the hoofjack. I tried to back up the toes as much as possible, I have a feeling I'm not near the whiteline yet. soles seem quite flat on the hinds too- could be congested sole waiting for exfoliation.
