Dolly is a miniature Shetland with feet less than 3" wide. From a foal she developed contraction of the Deep Digital Flexor Tendon (the main tendon down the back of the leg), this tendon attaches to the solar surface of the pedal bone. Due to this pull on the tendon the result is club feet.

To add to this Dolly recently suffered from an acute onset of Laminitis. Here are the before and after trimming pictures of her feet. Notice the angle of the hoof wall at the coronary band that wants to grow at a 90 degree angle to the ground.
