The title mentions splay footed, but you didn't talk about it. Does Pony have splayed hoves and it's been corrected? He doesn't appear splayed (or as splayed as I have on my pony). I am just trying to learn about how to help correct or improve.
I have an OTTB whose feet genuinely tend to 'splay' outward, much like your pony. Maybe try not to get too discouraged by people like this who I feel tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. Splayed or not, I think the idea of 'hoof mapping' is kind of silly. I simply keep the hoof walls straight and balanced. It's worked out for us very well for more than 20 years.
Excellent information! Thanks!
So interesting, learned a lot from all your videos! Great way of showing the effect with the different colours of paint 👏🏽
The demo on the model hoof was amazing. And Pony’s hooves are about perfect. Her frog looks like a 💜
Horses feet are not a block of wood.
I really love watching your videos. They are very informative. There is so much to being a skilled farrier!

Is that about a 60 degree bevel?
