A. Please be sure to include two pictures of your horse. The best pictures are taken outside in good light. Ensure that there is no blur. Take one complete body picture (no blanket) and one portrait picture showing your horse’s face.
B. If your horse has laminitis, hoof problems, or suspected hoof problems, you must also include three pictures of one barefoot front hoof (no shoes).
Set your horse’s hoof on a flat surface – concrete, wood, or dry ground. Do not take
pictures of your horse standing in grass, hay, snow, sawdust, bedding or other debris. Ensure that there is plenty of light – outdoor pictures are best.
1. One picture of the bottom sole. Make sure that the sole is cleaned out of manure, dirt, ice, snow, and other debris.
2. One picture of the side of the hoof taken from GROUND level. If you have a camera that is not a cell phone, you can set the camera right on the ground. Make sure that the picture is taken directly from the side at a 90-degree angle, not from a diagonal 45- degree angle.
3. One picture of the front of the hoof taken from GROUND level
Take hoof pictures within one week of the last trim.
