What is your checklist to go through when asked to deal with a brushing (behind) young horse? M/L balance seems to be OK.
Please, all input wellcome.

Some suggestions as well are, when the horse is due again, look at the wear of the front shoes. Sometimes when a horse interferes up front it could be from the horse breaking over on the inside or outside of the toe. Also what is the horse's conformation behind? I think a square toe shoe could help behind, and if hes cow-hocked behind a trailer could help to provide lateral support. Just a couple ideas partner. Its hard without seeing the horse etc., but anyway good luck.

I check tomorrow, but it appears to me that he is just very young (3.5) and weak and threrefore uncoordinated.
