I have a tall (15.2) Warmblood/Thoroughbred yearling with very long, upright pasterns. His feet are 56 and 57 degrees. I suspect we have been dropping the heel a little too low, and/or "breaking" the angle between hoof wall and pastern, as the hooves have started to dish alarmingly at the front. What is the correct way to trim this colt? I have some very good close-up pictures available to send also.
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
Linda
