Up-righting Heels and Walls

before and after rosie.jpg

This is the same horse.

First picture was an over trimmed hoof in the heel. The outer wall has lost vertical alignment. Outer wall should reflect the same angle as the lamina that connects it.

Second picture is a hoof that is aligned to internal structures. The heels align the bone column. This allows proper blood flow through the navicular bone. The stress is removed from the ligaments and tendons.
