Zander
2004 SP gelding
Initial Assessment
Zander has
been barefoot for about a year. At this, his first trim by me,
he was quite imbalanced and had considerable chipping. Both
front feet turn in at the fetlock, but his prior trimmer had failed to
adequately accommodate this; the lateral wall is flared and the plane
of the bottom of the foot is wry. We will gradually balance to
the sole plane.
Recommendations
Mineral
balancing to mitigate high iron and subsequent relative deficiencies
of copper, zinc and manganese will help Zander grow a more resilient
hoof wall.
