Ok, so my horse has never in the past interfered or forged
or had any movement problems at all. She started forging and stumbling
quite a bit about a month ago. Now today (she got brand new shoes on
Wednesday) she had horrible interference problems. She bloodied both
rear fetlocks, and her front right bulb. I know horse's movements
change as they grow, get fit, etc, but I remain somewhat skeptical in
my situation. What is the likelihood this is all because her rear toes
are too long? Or something similar related to her trim/shoe job?
What changed a month ago? New farrier, farrier became distracted and
not doing as good of a job? If her toes were the same before last
month - why is there a problem now? Is she showing signs of
neurological issues other than forging and stumbling?
Something changed a month ago. The answer most likely lies in the
answer to "what changed."
