Yes, I have notices that, but I have checkes aroun a bit on all foals I have seen the lastest weeks and they all more or less present the same appearance, and people don´t seem concerned about it and referr it to "they are in a growing period and it will correct itself with time". As I didn´t really liked that answer, I ended up here asking.

And I really appriciate your answers. What can be done to correct it? (Is it possible to correct it?).

Of course I will call both my farrier and the horse clinic (were they have both vets and farriers), but if they just thinks "thats just a phase of growing" I would have something to "push" with.

(Foalcorrection isn´t that old in sweden. We have always done it in severe cases, but in cases like my filly it is unlikley someone would have reacted or done anything if it was 10 years ago. And it is still some vets and farriers out there that still lives like that.)

: Alexandra,

: The filly's new growth is much steeper than the previous growth. Can you see this in the side views you took? Notice the new growth angle compared with the lower toe walls. The new growth isn't correct.
