The smallest project has started! 😁

Bummers on the eyes! Hope she keeps at least one. Wasn't it her foot that you were worried about?

Do you think that's why they sold her, these medical issues? Or did they not know?

Hopefully she will get along with her new friends. Aren't horses happier with friends? Sheep kinda freak out when they're by themselves (at least the two here do), although I don't think horses have the same level of requirement to be in a herd?

Some horses will risk life n limb to not be alone.

They knew, they had it covered up for weeks until she got it off recently. The left eye looked fine last week, so that one they probably didn't know about.


Both hind hooves have some curve inward. But I think with shorter trim cycles, I can fix it.

I love the Appaloosa back end and Paint front end. She is a cutie, hope you can get her hooves going right.

She's so sweet!
Need to try and get the glue off her.

Has she gotten a name yet?

Vet contacted me after I emailed pictures of the haze in her left eye & agreed it could be uveitis.

Anywho, I haven't had to halter or tie her up for the cream or drops yet.

She's somewhat making a friend, but refuses to be nice to the dark mini. Unfortunately, pinto mini over reacted when they were in the same pen. 🤦🏽‍♀️

So who's going to be the lead mare? She will find her place in the herd.

Her hoof doesn't look terrible. It has an inward turn, but I think with proper trimming it may straighten up.

Her feet don’t look bad actually. Minis have a tendency to get weird feet (per my experience and our big horse’s farrier).

I had a mini who had 1 back foot that curved inward, but it was 100x worse than yours. It took me a couple years of frequent trims, but I did get it corrected.

😅 Vet listed her as 6 of 9 on the fat scale. That's not fat enough!

Both hinds curve in, thought it was just one. My dark mini has a hoof that likes to randomly curve a bit. Bothers me so dang much...

When a horses hoof has had a particular departure from the "standard" it has an affect on the leg bones. Trying to make hooves look perfect once the bones have set, can be detrimental. If she goes sound now I wouldn't mess around with changing angles. Got to get after the thrush of course .
