    [RC] Interference/Jackie- from Barb Peck - Ridecamp Guest


    Barb Peck bpeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx
    I'm not on my home computer.. hense the guest message,
    
    Jackie: 
      Here's a couple of possibilities for the change in your horses way of going.
     
      Most horses hinds tend to toe out just ever so lightly, therefore
    most will *not* break over dead center. 
      If your farrier truly squared the toes of the hinds, then this will force break-over dead center.  If this is not where the horse naturally wants break-over, then there's going to be some
    stress somewhere.
    
      Or, there an medial-lateral hoof (side to side) imbalance... 
    
    In any case, if this was a horse that was not interfering, and now is after the change in the hind shoeing, then I'd look at the shoeing first. (This was don to correct forging, right? Why did the horse forge? Conformation or something else?) 
    
    Have the farrier try half-rounds on the hinds, they can break over any where they want with those.
    
    Barb
