Still more lopsided!



Title: Still more lopsided!

My horse had the classic low heel, high heel syndrome on his front legs, therefore one chest was higher than the other.

 The shoulder was higher than the other on the same side.  Upon advice from a clinician, I had a farrier shim him on the

low side with a 1/8” rim pad.  He was shimmed for a year and then he became even in the front and we haven’t had to
shim since.   He will always have to be monitored because he has a tendency to get out of balance if not kept in condition.

He’s more balanced at the end of the season than at the beginning, so I suspect that my own imbalance is not the
overiding factor in why he’s crooked.  (Even though I KNOW I’m crooked!)  Lopsidedness can be handled!
