Does anyone else have photos of this guy? I was looking at him online thinking I like his face, but when I went through my photos I see hes standing like he may have a club foot (left front.) He was standing that way in two photos, although they were both taken while he was in the same spot, other horses had moved past but his foot was still up like that.

Just curious if it was just how I caught it or if there's a problem?

I don't have anything noted on him. You might have just caught him at an odd stance.

It looks like he is standing on a rock the first pict....sometimes a club foot can appear so because horses are one sided. The stronger side will hit the ground harder, thereby flattening it more than the other side. This can also happen due to a trauma or sore pec muscle on one side as opposed to the other. Or being sore in the hind can make them keep their weight onto one side in the front more. Lots of reasons for that look of a foot.

he sure has a relaxed looking personality

[desperatehorsewife]

No kidding, Sonrisa. He's got his eyes closed in nearly all the photos I took, and they're closed in one of Jillian's, too

Are you sure those are of the same horse? The horse in the first pic looks like he has white on his right rear foot, and in the second set of pics I don't notice any white...

You're right, in the other pictures the legs seem to be much darker too, good catch!

[desperatehorsewife]

You're right, they're not! I just glanced at the face and that front leg... Good catch, indeed!
