Our older mare has hooves that now resemble pancakes and I'm now concerned about my 10 year old whose hoof angles do not look right. Our farrier is the NICEST guy, (but that does not make him a good farrier) I think I should get another opinion and if I need to make a change, how do I do it diplomatically?

Discuss the problems with your current farrier and if he really has no solutions, tell him you would like to seek another opinion and invite him to participate, after all it sounds like he needs the education.

sylvia, it would probably also help if you had the time to do some research yourself and learn about what a foot should look like, and why... this will make your job of talking to your current farrier and talking to a new prosepective farrier a lot easier..
are your horses shod or barefoot?
