Veteran Posts: 148	Had a horse who received a bad shoe job. X-rays showed negative Palmer angle. She was shod correct and doing a lot better. Sometimes will still walk a little ouchy sometimes on front left, usually on hard surface. Biggest thing if she’s in stall long she is lame coming out. If she stayed turned out she’s fine. Any ideas? She’s scheduled for MRI Thursday

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	It is often a conformation issue. My show horse gets them easy in the back end. Vet and farrier wish his front and hind pasterns were switched. They are more common on the hind end. My guy has never been lame but will get sore over his loins and kind of parked underneath himself. I gave up trying to get a farrier to trim him how he needs so I have done all his trimming the past 2 yrs and he is better than ever. Seems to be just about where his body was meant to be. He is a hind toe dragger too and dubs those toes. Keeping them trimmed often to get heels and toes back where they should be is the key. Take just a tiny bit off at a time.

Elite Veteran Posts: 889	I went through this in the summer. It took a good 6 months of corrective shoeing; being reset every 5 weeks to get her right. Fixing feet is not quick. My mare also has some conformation flaws that don't help, but she's doing really well. If you have a good vet and good farrier, you can certainly help her.

Not Afraid to Work Posts: 4717	My gelding has this, he has terrible front leg conformation due to a check ligament surgery being done too late. Had him in a 2 degree natural balance show for a few years and was having some issues. X-rayed and although it wasn't negative, it was at 0 and he said preferably +2-4. We added a 2 degree wedge pad under his shoe and so far so good.
