Lamanitic dressage horse

During that snowy weather we had after Christmas Ed Lyall one of the vets from Arundel picked my up as we needed to tend to a Dressage horse that had a bad onset of Laminitis in one of his hind feet! Firstly here are the radiographs of each of his hind feet you can see that the top picture looks pretty perfect and the lower picture (his offending foot) has had a lot of hoof capsule distortion-his toe's really long, some drastic trimming needed. You wouldn't think these two radiographs belonged to the same horse.

Here are some more pictures of the trimming and shoeing, there was a load of bruising on the sole of his foot and he we was exceptionally sensitive.
