Elvis' Hooves
El is a 6 year old Arabian gelding. I bought him as a 3 year old. He has never been shod and has been on pasture his entire life.

El's front feet in the fall of 2006, shortly after I bought him. Not bad looking, but heels are a bit high and notice the slight flare in the lower 1/3 of the hoof. What I do like about his feet - very large healthy frogs, nicely curved bars. Very nice open healthy foot. |

El's back feet, same time period. It appears that the back toes have been dubbed. |
