After they get about 18 months to 2 years, it's pretty
hard to try and change them. If she's a yearling, I don't think any damage
has been done. If both feet have high heels, it's probably just a bad trim
job. I would ask your farrier to go take a look at him... Nelson looks at
a lot of prospective horses for folks and in fact, appreciates the opportunity
to do so if he is going to be working on the horse. It's when he's NOT
consulted and he ends up fixing and fixing a horse that is not really fixable
that he gets exasperated with people. One quick look and he could
have saved them a lot of money and himself a lot of frustration.
