Take a close look at the bones in this horse's leg. The medio-lateral balance is completely off, with the left side sitting lower than the right side. This horse has been considered mildly lame for years, including after years of remedial therapy, and this lack of balance is likely the cause.

Finally, her owner took off her shoes and kept this mare up with a "Natural Trim." Three days later, the horse's owner claimed she was sound. Within a year, all tenderness & stiffness, all signs that this mare ever had a problem were completely gone!

Note the balance that natural wear gave this horse's legs, that farriers failed to be able to find.
