Now she has bent forward tubules in her LF and I'm not sure what to do as her heel is still really low. One of the drawbacks of having a barefoot horse with no professional trimmer nearby!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-67213815000670483072011-07-30T21:35:14.975-04:002011-07-30T21:35:14.975-04:00Heels are a really interesting matter.

I was terrified to touch them at first, but now I have started to understand what to look for in a supportive heel.<br /><br />I have noticed that if I bring the heels back/down to the level of the sole, his sole almost immediately exfoliates in the seat of corn. He seems to like a 1/8 inch heel. What do you think about the exfoliation?Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-49988373226192225912011-07-29T21:36:12.701-04:002011-07-29T21:36:12.701-04:00I would have been okay with you stealing one of my...I would have been okay with you stealing one of my pictures... it is what it is, and she really is a good example of it.

I've read it over about 3 different times now and I think I'm going to read it some more just to make sure it all sinks in. <br /><br />What Walt is saying sounds very similar to what my first barefoot consultant was saying, only in a way that I can really visualize. What Walt is saying about the toes is what's most weird to me about the 2 consults I had. The one said she wouldn't touch the toes and the other said the toes need to be brought back along with the heels.in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-91687208632714465352011-07-28T14:43:52.802-04:002011-07-28T14:43:52.802-04:00I've practically been eating, breathing and sl...I've practically been eating, breathing and sleeping with these terms for the past few months, it's hard to remember sometimes that this is Greek to other people.
