Mahdi
1998 Warmblood gelding
Initial Assessment
Mahdi's toes are waaaay out in front of him, and there
appears to be considerable flaring rasped off of the dorsal wall,
particularly on the right front. Heels somewhat contracted, and
frog health will benefit from thrush treatment. I did a very
conservative set-up trim and fitted him for boots on his front feet.
Hind feet are predictably healthier, although the left hind heel is
underrun; the bullnosed toe suggests that there is negative rotation
of P3.
Recommendations
We started Mahdi on the So Cal Custom Blend in
February. He has worn his boots and pads through much of his
transition, but is now becoming comfortable enough for arena work
barefoot.
