Possibly what she's trying to say is that even though the toes look square when looking at them from above, the whole foot has grown out so the toes and heels have both migrated too far forward in relation to the coffin bone. Like I said before, the angle of the sole shot isn't the best for telling anything about toe length and it's hard to tell about the heels because it looked blurry to me. We'll be able to tell more when she's freshly trimmed and you get better pictures.

I've got a new farrier coming on Wednesday who knows all about this stuff and is going to put some of those Natural Balance shoes like I showed you the other day on Bob and possibly Tennessee since he's got a problem with contracted heels. I'll try to take as many pictures as I can too.

I guess I can see that... And they weren't great pictures. I can't find my new camera! It's in this house somewhere, but I couldn't find it and used my old one that doesn't focus well close up.

I guess my point is it's one thing to say "she looks like she needs a trim". That's different than "she's got long toes and under-run heels" as if she suffers from some malformed conformation problem, because I don't think she does. Hers look like very good feet that are due for a trim, not a bad conformation case than needs corrective measures, don't they? Do I know anything? ;~D
