I was out today for a first visit on a 18 year old App. ,client had told me on phone that horse was navicular,and a little lame,on arival I found the horse dead lame. He had been shoed with aluminun eggbars 3% lift with a full pad. Client says that X Rays had been done 3 years ago and that the horse had been nerved at that time,L. front foot was at 50 degrees R.front was at 63 degrees, there apeared to be pain under the pad on the R. front(infection). As the previose farrier was AFA CJF,and I didn`t want to start a pissing contest,I told client too get new pictures from his current Vet.and have him call me with his thoughts. I didn`t pull the shoes as I wanted to know what I was looking at from the inside.Just something seamed a little strange. Any thoughts thanks Don
