Penny
2003 Hanoverian/Saddlebred Mare
Initial Assessment
Penny has
never worn shoes. This was her first barefoot trim not performed
by a traditional farrier, but she has a lot of things working in her
favor, namely excellent sole depth, and healthy frogs. She was
quite overdue for a trim, and so had considerable flaring and
chipping. Penny has a serious and stubborn skin condition for
which she is receiving large doses of steroids; there is little doubt
that that will affect the condition of her feet. She has also
had some dramatic feed changes in the past six months in an effort to
pinpoint and address her hair loss.
