Before photo on left is just after pulling the shoes on this horse. Notice long heels, overgrown bars and deep clefts.

Right photo is immediately after the trim.

This horse hadn't been trimmed in quite a while but was doing a pretty good job of self trimming considering. The photo on right is just after trimming.

Before and after on a horse that hadn't been trimmed in 6 months.

Same horse, side view

Same horse, front view--even overgrown, ragged hooves clean up pretty nicely.

This is a first trim on a horse that had always been in shoes. You can see the difference in angles with the barefoot trim.

This horse was left in his shoes for too long and the hoof was very overgrown. This is the right front foot before pulling shoe and immediately after first trim.

Same hoof, heel view --heels very long and shoe bent.

The heels are still long in the after photo, but the hoof will reshape itself over time.

This horse was barefoot but hadn't been trimmed in six months. Notice how the wall is self trimming in the back of the hoof.

The second photo is immediately after her first trim, removing the overgrowth.

The left hand picture is immediately after a trim by her previous farrier. She had long toes and low, but underrun heels.

The right hand picture is after I started trimming her.

This is a three year old who hadn't been trimmed before. You can see that she's done a pretty good job of self-trimming considering her total lack of hoof care.

The second picture was taken 10 minutes later, cleaning up and rounding the hoof wall.

This horse had been in the same set of shoes for several months. You can see how the shoe pulls the growth forward in a cylindrical shape.

The second photo is taken 10 minutes later. After removing shoes, taking off dead sole and excess wall, the hoof is already a more natural shape.

First photo taken right after I pulled the shoes on this horse.

Second photo is the finished trim, shortening toe and correcting long underrun heels.

This is a young Quarter Horse with lots of flaring and overgrowth .

Second photo is after trim.

Although this horse had been trimmed recently, he had large amounts of dead sole, overgrown bars, and underrun and laid over heels.

The second photo is after I started trimming him.

Left photo--this horse had been recently trimmed by his regular farrier.
