Riser
2003
Tennessee Walking Horse gelding
Initial Assessment
Riser is one
of my personal herd. Riser was
shod only once, for about 2 weeks before we purchased him. He
did not receive the most punctual or learned barefoot trimming before
that; the upside was, he had beautiful sole and concavity; the
downside, LOTS of flaring, and what we refer to as a "platter" foot as
a result. His feet responded beautifully to his new barefoot
regimen, and now, a year later, he has some pretty doggone nice
hooves! He wants more heel on his left front, and I still have
to be diligent to prevent flaring.
