Re: [RC] Confirmation- reply to Tuni - desertrydr1NO, it can't not after several months of age. If that's the way it grows, that's the way it will continue to grow and NEEDS to grow. If you try to change those angles, you are more likely to cripple the horse than fix it. There are some things you can do to a clubby foot (high/low is what I was seeing more than an actual club, but it's hard to tell from pics) but messing with the angles will just make a mess.jeri (Owner of a horse with high heels, who after 16 years and several farriers will never try to change angles again.) -----Original Message----- From: Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF <carrie.kitley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:12 am Subject: RE: [RC] Confirmation- reply to Tuni Kathy, I noticed that as well. I assumed it was photo angle. But that can be corrected with proper angles in trimming too.

Or was it just the way the pics were taken that made it appear that way? Kathy Laura wrote: ...I am not fond of her shoulder--it is short and steep, not laid back as preferred, but that would mainly cause a rougher ride than a long shoulder - if you don't care, it wouldn't matter. I see allot of high mileage horses with steep shoulders and shorter strides - not text book ideal, but not really something that will cause a mechanical problem later. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
