Levi
1996 Quarter
Horse gelding
Boy, do I
get tired of seeing these same trim-induced issues: mediolateral
imbalance, particularly in Levi's hind feet; high heels on the front
feet; flared dorsal wall on the front feet; heel contraction. I
could just copy/paste that list from a couple of dozen other cases on
my site.
Levi has hip
issues (really??? what a surprise with those medial heels half an inch
longer than the lateral heels.) Levi paddles with his front
feet; it's pretty clear that he would toe in if his trim would let
him. Letting his feet point where nature intended will take the
pressure off of his joints, and will improve his awkward way of going.
Granted, some of the issues Levi has are a product of his
conformation, but balancing his feet is sure a nice place to start to
keep things working as well as they possibly can!
