CD
12 yr old Paint gelding
A little heel contraction; a little shallow under P3; but overall, not
too bad! CD's thin walls will quickly become healthier.
His front heels, particularly the left, are just on the verge of being
underrun. A look at the growth rings shows how leaving the
quarters long to set a shoe puts excessive force on the quarters,
creating a wave in the growth rings and pushing the hairline up.
CD's hind feet show much better sole depth, although they may be just
on the verge of negative coffin bone rotation. CD was fitted for
front boots.
He looks pretty bored and unconcerned in the photo at right, but he
was definitely wondering what all the fuss and photos were about!
