So I get my last (I mean it this time!) dollar horse yesterday. Looking at her feet I can see they are in need of a farrier who knows what they are doing. Then I pick up the RF foot.... HOLY COW!!!! This is what I saw: I then kind of make a face and ask the person I got this horse from when the horse was shod.... 2 WEEKS AGO! Look at the back feet! Have you ever seen hooves look like, 2 weeks after a trim?? And I find out the farrier has been doing this horse for 2 years.... Thank God my farrier comes tomorrow! |

If you PM me, I'll gladly share the farrier's name. The horse has been lame on the RF for a while now... and the owner was just done with the horse. I tried to get her to switch farriers, but she swore her farrier was great..... Yeah, great at messing things up!!! |

This picture makes it look like these feet/legs belong to two different horses. No wonder this girl is lame on the RF! Look at that angle (or lack thereof)!!

Holy hell indeed! Her RF looks a little clubby, but what that farrier did is an abomination. Those pictures made me want to throw up a little bit. |

When the lady got the horse 2 years ago... the RF foot was the one with very little heel and the LF had a lot of heel. Now, in all his wisdom, the farrier changed that to the opposite sides.... instead of correcting the problem. I almost can't wait for my farrier to come out tomorrow morning.... I know he's gonna hit the roof!! I always get tons of compliments on my farrier's work, too. I was at Piedmont with Barbie and 2 of the vets inquired about who I used. I think the horse's feet are in great hands now!

I am very sorry for this poor horse. She really must have suffered if the shoeing has been like that for years. I am glad she's with you now! |

I think my 3.5 year old son could tell you that is one f*ed up shoe job!
I can't believe the woman had the nerve to defend it. I'd love to see pics of the horse, too. Thank heavens you found her.
