The title mentions splay footed, but you didn't talk about it. Does Pony have splayed hoves and it's been corrected? He doesn't appear splayed (or as splayed as I have on my pony). I am just trying to learn about how to help correct or improve.
I have an OTTB whose feet genuinely tend to 'splay' outward, much like your pony. Maybe try not to get too discouraged by people like this who I feel tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. Splayed or not, I think the idea of 'hoof mapping' is kind of silly. I simply keep the hoof walls straight and balanced. It's worked out for us very well for more than 20 years.
The demo on the model hoof was amazing. And Pony’s hooves are about perfect. Her frog looks like a 💜
Excellent information! Thanks!
So interesting, learned a lot from all your videos! Great way of showing the effect with the different colours of paint 👏🏽

💯👍👍👍

Horses feet are not a block of wood.
