interesting! stjarni has been barefoot for seven weeks now (and it's mostly sucked, and i hate my farrier, and i'm seriously hoping he can get trimmed and re-shod in front asap) and i've noticed that his right forefoot winging has just about disappeared. (the ONLY good thing to come of the barefootedness, aside from his not throwing shoes or cracking under nails, anyway...) --vicka (who's been avoiding whining about this at length)
