I'm pretty pissed. I've told him multiple times to keep heels lower. I think he just stops paying attention honestly.
This was after a 5 week cycle too... And I paid $210 for this job!!!! Grrrr. I'm over this guy.

Re: Tripping after farrier and Holy heck look at this heel
Tanga, the other one is high but not that high. This major difference in height is new. I think this one has always had a slight tendency to be higher but I'm talking millimeters, not inches like now!! I did post it in a group. Some told me yes heel too high.

Re: April showers bring May flowers and June bugs. Our goals and progress thread
Josette, I don't think he's contracted more like he's got way too much heal and getting upright. Almost like the farrier is letting him get clubby. We have x-rays from last year and there was no inclination towards clubbiness at all so it's bizarre.

Lynx has started tripping recently after farrier was here. And looking at his feet he's got a heck of a lot of heel on the left front which is where I believe he's tripping.
