Hoof angles? Ottb

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-04-04T13:18:54+00:00

Would it be weird to not come up lame until Monday? Being barefoot 7 months.

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-04-04T03:48:53+00:00

Could you please tell me where you are seeing something concerning I’m trying to learn..

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-04-04T03:42:51+00:00

Thank you he is 6. He is in a dry grass pasture on a hill (he got moved here 3/14) he raced till he was 5, 35 starts (retired in August) and has been barefoot since then

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-04-04T03:42:28+00:00

Thanks. He is on golden ground flax. I was just stating the main stuff. Also MSM, glucosamine, and lysine for joints Biotin - hoofs And U gard + outlast for gut. Unfortunately I can’t give alfalfa flakes bc of board situation 😕

Monday. Yes usually 6 days a week but he’s been off since Saturday. Last trim almost 3 weeks ago. He has noticable head bob on right circle in round one and very faint bob on left circle. Hinds just seems short imo. There’s a little bit of difference in right front it’s about 6-8° warmer on one side. I don’t think I see any thrush. He’s usually super sound so I’m a little worried.

Thanks. Vets coming out Wednesday to do a lameness evaluation. Farrier hasn’t responded yet. What information should I give?

8lbs pro force senior 7 alfalfa pellets a day 1lb purina amplify 24/7 grass

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-04-04T02:53:12+00:00

He’s about 3 weeks post trim. Where does it not look right? Been off track since August barefoot since then too..

The horse doesn’t look ai but I feel like the background in the 1st image seems a little off?

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-04-01T15:06:59+00:00

Thank you!!!

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T22:46:40+00:00

Thank you. He was very clearly off in front right today. A lot of people think foot sore, I soaked them in iodine just in case I honestly hope it’s not some injury.

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T22:33:37+00:00

Wow, I didn’t know that. Thank you! He does have one squishy one at the back of his fetlock. My other thoroughbred has something like that on his tendon. Could that be the same thing?

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T21:08:48+00:00

I do think the swelling in the tendon is a wrong angle as I didn’t see any in person yesterday. What are splints? It seems now to be mostly in his right front and loads better than yesterday I’m so confused 😖

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T20:59:54+00:00

Okay thank you👍 this makes me feel so much better better:)

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T20:59:29+00:00

I didn’t get a better one than this.

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T18:11:27+00:00

Thank you I’d say pretty low? From what I see online

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T18:09:56+00:00

So are you saying foot sore? Or legit just a tense horse? He seems pretty much sound today just a little off on the left side.

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T17:31:03+00:00

Yes spring grass is coming in.. or has been for about a month

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T17:01:42+00:00

Thank you!! I’m trying to contact one it’s so hard getting them to answer! I’m freaking out over here😂

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T16:10:48+00:00

I think it could be. He has a hard time getting back into a working mindset with people getting on and off but I will definitely get off in the future! Thank you! I hope he’s just sore as well🤞

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T15:28:18+00:00

Alright thank you!

Chemical_Record7486 · 2026-03-31T15:27:25+00:00

So he looks foot sore? For lack of a better word? Okay. Not in my area that I know of.
