Concavity question

Pyrgirl · Concavity question

I have a question concerning the concavity of the sole on one hoof of my horse. Background information - I was unable to trim for about 3 months. At the beginning of that time, they were beautifully and freshly trimmed. By the time I got to them again, there were flares, long toes, lack of balance, and some thrush. We have pretty much eliminated the thrush, flares and long toes. One horse had pretty bad balance in the two rear feet when we started back in - the flare would go out to the side of each foot. Now there is no flare and the balance is pretty nice again. Odd thing is that the sole of the foot is still off. One side is "deep" and one side is more "shallow" or normal in the degree of concavity. Overall this horse has alot of concavity on her sole compared to other horses I've done, but this one foot is not equal on each side. Any ideas why this is so and what I can do about it?

I am interested in this as well, as Bently recently has developed an unequal concavity bowl on his RF, it showed up about a month ago now, but the concavity is deeper, and I think more correct on the inside, and more shallow/almost non-existent on the outside. weird. I doesn't seem to cause him pain or anything, so I had just chalked it up to the fact that the sole just wasn't ready to be concave on that side yet, he does have weaker wall integrity on the outisde of that foot so that might be part of it to.
