What do you see in these next images??

This is a Quarter horse that was lame and diagnosed with hip arthritus and fussed pasterns and ring bone in the left front. By touch the left fron is hot, thus diagnosed as the bad foot. In reality the right front has lack of circulation and is cold compared to the other limbs. Because the heel was contracted and  high and the frog did not contact the ground, this horse was in a great deal of heal pain and gave the illusion of faulty hip movement and a short stabbing gate in the front. This horses is now on the way to becoming sound after just removing the steel shoes lowering the heels of the front and sending him out to pasture with an excersize routine. Updated photos to follow.

What do you now see?
