    Horse J - the RF hoof also showing the vertical medial wall and the higher medial heel away from my hand as well as the broken hoof wall from the increased downward load of the horse. The sole is not divided equally but the medial side has less area than the lateral when a line is drawn from the toe to the point of the frog.
    Horse J - the RF hoof also showing a sheared hoof with a vertical medial wall and a laterally splayed lateral wall. These are not as obvious when viewing from the front because the LF is more deviated.
    Horse J - The LF hoof of this horse has an asymmetric hoof and an offset pastern entering the hoof. This rear view shows the uneven heels and the lateral deviation of both heels.
    Horse J - The LF hoof of this horse has an asymmetric hoof and an offset pastern entering the hoof. This view shows the vertical medial wall and the higher medial heel next to my hand as well as the broken hoof wall from the increased downward load of the horse. The sole is not divided equally but the medial side has less area than the lateral when a line is drawn from the toe to the point of the frog.
    Horse J - The LF hoof of this horse has an asymmetric hoof and an offset pastern entering the hoof. This view shows the vertical medial wall, the higher medial heel and the horizontal splay of the lateral heel and hoof wall. This geometry is a result of the medial side landing first causing an upright wall and elevated heel and the lateral side landing last with the force vectors being more horizontal and moving the wall outward.
    Horse J the day after trimming.
    Horse J - the day after trimming (2 days after the 1st images). The medial heel (left side) is taller while the lateral heel and quarter are splayed out. From this image it is clear the horizontal component of the vector analysis is forcing the hoof to move laterally (to the right in this image). There is a video of the movement of these limbs. 5 years later: the hooves have been supplemented with protein and trimmed correctly and the hooves are normal (images to follow).
    Horse J the day after trimming. While the hoof looks balanced, the lateral heel is still more rostral (forward toward the toe) and has a crushed shape. This indicates that she is landing at the lateral heel first crushing it in (see video). The chipped medial quarter is from the take off phase.
    Horse J - The LF hoof of this horse has an asymmetric hoof and an offset pastern entering the hoof.
    Horse J the day after trimming.
    Horse A - RF - The lateral wall (next to my hand) is more worn and is chipping along with a lateral toe crack. Less wear is evident on the medial heel and quarter.
    Horse A - LF - Medial wall (next to my hand) is wearing and chipping with the medial bar and heel wearing faster than the lateral side. The wall at the toe has a major piece broken off.
