Ever wondered why your horse’s heels look uneven from behind? You might be looking at Sheared Heels.

This condition isn't just a cosmetic issue; it’s a structural imbalance that can lead to permanent damage if left untreated. Here is a quick breakdown of what to watch for and how to handle it:

🔍 Key Signs to Spot:
🚨Uneven Heel Bulb Height: Visible asymmetry when looking at the hoof from the rear.
🚨Deep Cleft in the Frog: A painful central split that can harbor infection.
🚨Distorted Hoof Capsule: Look for an inward curve on the higher side of the hoof.
🚨Sensitivity: General lameness or pain during movement.

⚠️ Common Causes:
It often starts with improper trimming or shoeing, but can also be triggered by poor limb conformation, muscle tightness, or even untreated lameness (like navicular) that causes the horse to shift its weight unevenly.

🛠️ Treatment Principles:
1. Correct the Balance: Work with a skilled farrier to restore symmetry for a level landing.
2. Topical Care: Use antibacterial and antifungal agents to treat deep, dark clefts.
3. Orthopedic Support: Bar shoes or frog support pads can help stabilize the capsule and redistribute weight away from painful areas.

Don't ignore the imbalance, early intervention is key to keeping your horse sound and comfortable!

Having your back check - should include full body check

Not gut reaction, tight ribs and SI

Don’t be fooled
It’s not the gut reacting they are muscle spasms
