I have seen more 'farriers' here think that Mini feet are supposed to look like donkey feet, or worse, and leave them standing straight up and down.
Havent read the whole post, so you might have a handle on it by now, but my suggestion is to have your vet take a look or have another farrier that is recommended come and take a look. It sounds like all the toe was cut off, leaving the heel if they are clubby looking. That heel needs to come off!! Wonder if he has trimmed the toes too short also down to the quick to take it off?
Good grief. I have seen a lot of shoeing problems with 'farriers', or those that claim to be one, on big horses too, but the Minis seem to get it much worse for some reason.
