Those heels are troublesome. They are too high. As well the foot looks contracted. The heels need to be lowered gradually and opened up. Also the whole foot is too long and is causing stress at the sides (quarters) of the foot where you can see chipping and breaking happening. If this horse has always been barefoot and s/he has heels like that, the owner will have to ensure that s/he receives trims regularily or the strength of the horn of the foot could cause some separation (white line separation) if the hoof is allowed to get too long between trims. And the strength of the horn can cause the foot to naturally contract...so yes...regular trims are a must. Wanda
