It's Hoof Time.

I'm pretty happy with my farrier. I think she's doing a great job and Fred's (all of them, but it's his feet starring here)feet look great.

I took measurements this morning two days after trimming.

His feet have gotten bigger over the last TWO(TWO YEARS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!) years.

This morning:


His measurements:


               W                  L
LF:      4 13/16"       4 13/16

RF:     4 15/16"       4 13/16

LH:     4 7/16"        4 5/8"

RH:    4 1/2"           4 5/8"


His feet look huge to me. (keeping in mind he's barely 15hh)

Here's the handsome boy.

and his hooves:

LF:

LH:

RH:

 Why...yes, I do wear inappropriate footwear around my horses sometimes.

(busted)

RF:

any imbalances are more than likely because the recent road work had them worn down to the point that taking enough off to completely balance would have sored him. (he paddles on the front) He's comfortable on all terrain and we're walking over some pretty big limestone.

I'm thinking about ordering some boots.
