I ' nearly ' have a horse with two matching front feet ;D

This was after rotation. One year after in fact, and the best efforts of a farrier. On vets advice, we tried Stewart Clogs:

Ewww........

We managed to get rid of all the dead wedge over a very gradual period of time:

and then bringing him right up to date, these are today

And almost matching ...........

Well done. We've been down a similar path with a few of ours, although never tried the clogs. It takes ages for that wedge to grow out and these horses live on such a knife edge you never know what is going to tip them over the edge again. Its such a relief to get them stable and on a foot that looks like a foot again!

Thank you for your kind comments and sorry Hannah ( forgot to recheck the thread ) It is 18 very long months between the clog coming off and this photo from this week.
