Shoeing Sophie’s front feet (crooked front legs)

Sophie is a pleasure horse with some very offset front feet which results in an unusual growth pattern. I explain in this video why her feet grow this way and how to manage them properly to provide her with a balanced hoof throughout the whole shoeing cycle. Enjoy!

So refreshing to hear someone actually reference 'joint spacing' and illustrate they are considering the state of what's 'inside' the hoof capsule and fetlock, instead of just focusing on hoof capsule alone. Maybe throw in some HPA reference with your COR, and potential ringbone/sidebone contributions to capsule distortion from way of going to really flesh out your explanations. Good stuff. More please. Nice to rest my back and be entertained by your great vids.

Thank you for the feedback! I’m still trying to fine tune my explanations in my videos while keeping them short enough for simple viewing. HPA is something I do touch on in some other videos I have for future uploads. And the more horses I do with offset feet like this the more specific I’ll get with potential lamenesses caused by an unbalanced hoof capsule. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
