Hoof Diagrams

Hey Y'all!  Wha'z up?  A friend of mine asked for a diagram of the hoof so they are (PS: Click on the pic to make it bigger :o)!)~

Barefoot Trimmin' Ramblin'

Wha'z up?  I'm sooooo excited!  Wanna know why?  I get to order my supplies soon!  YAY!

I have been researching up a storm and feel confident enough to start at least rasping their hooves in between trimmings!  WOO HOO!  The reason I am so excited is because for the first time in a while I am genuinely excited and have stayed excited for more than a week!  I noticed on Sonny at least that he lands toe first and that his frog is small and his heel a wee bit restricted.  So that leads to him having NO "dead" sole on the toe but at least an eighth of an inch in his seat of corn and the surrounding sole area.  His toe is also more square and has corners PLUS he has quarter chipping and flaring.  Red on the other hand looks pretty good but I haven't really worked on him...
