Excessive flares

These pictures are of a very poor footed thoroughbred in desperate need of trimming. He has a strange triangular shaped foot which forms a peak at the front of his hoof wall. Due to a change of diet (from winter to summer) causing a growth ring and then excessive length of foot and flaring his foot nearly broke off all the way around which would have left him in serious trouble.

Looks like I got to him just in time!!
