Posted on Wednesday, Jul 23, 2008 - 10:35 pm: Hi,Here are some radiographs of my horse's front hooves. One set was taken in Feb 07 and the other set was taken about a weeks ago. I would like to know if my farrier is on the right track. Isabella is a 12 year old Belgian/QH mare. She is currently lame from being trimmed too short. If you were to look at the bottom of her hoof, you would see that the sole is bearing almost all her weight. I am dealing with that situation. I am not sure why her sole depth at the tip of the P3 has decreased in the right foot. The initial set of x-rays were taken because she was lame and a block showed that the lameness was most likely coming from the heel area. The vet felt that she was in pain because her P3 angle was almost zero and there was very little sole beneath the P3 wings. If I am looking at the radiographs correctly, I think we are on the right track to correcting the allignment. Am I right? The photos are in this order: Right (old), Right(new), Left(old), Left (new).
