My coloured colt was born very down on his heels, farrier came out to him at 2.5 weeks old and trimmed his feet, he did say he'd never seen feet so long on one so young before.. to just keep running the rasp over him every few weeks, its been 3 weeks and although someone said to me he'd come up a bit, he still looks very down to me.
Last year i had a filly like this.. and she ended up with the farrier gluing on metal shoes to her feet and having to stay in a small field as they were very expensive for her to keep losing! I don't want to (nor can i really afford to this year!) to this with him..
I remember last year though someone said about using duck tape and tongue depressors... he is not as bad as she was last year.. but i want to stop him getting that bad... any advice?
