    Hello David, thank you for the reply.

    Not really overdue, and therein lies a small part of my dilemma.

    If I may ask, how does the bone alignment look to you? I have a few things I would like to discuss about this horse but wish to go somewhat slowly so as not to miss something valuable nor confuse anyone reading. I know all information is valuable when making evaluations.
    I believe that if I am going to keep this horse going long term it may be a couple of small details that allow me to accomplish that goal.

    It appears that this foot was not weight bearing when it was radiographed. Therefore, bone alignment is not something I would evaluate from these images. The toe length is rather extreme. Is this one of these foot waivers?
