Can you identify healthy vs unhealthy concavity?
One hoof has pathological concavity and the other does not. Don’t let the dates fool you but use the time of year as information.

Below is the same horse only 2 months apart. The horse has PPID and isn’t a hoof model of “ideal” but the difference in concavity can certainly be appreciated here! Not only are there visual differences, but the comfort level of this horse from one photo to the next was drastically different. We’re talking comfortably walking over gravel vs avoiding it!

So what changed?
Which hoof looks healthier and more comfortable and why?

I’ll post the explanation below in the comments. ⬇️

BAREFOOT at the NFR 🙌🏼👏🏻

Louder for the people in the back!

So I can’t tell you how many people messaged me about Summer and Apollo,  I’m not sure how this even became a question but yes, she runs him barefoot! Fun fact she trims him most of the time herself too. ASNY has very good hard feet too never ever needed shoes, so I hope this answers your questions 🤗

ETA yes I am very aware Every horse is individual as is every situation,  it was a question that was coming up a lot so don’t come at me 🙅‍♀️
