The better your photos are, the more accurate the advice I can give you
If you are interested in discussing your horse's hooves or trim the best way to connect with me is by joining the Virtual Facebook Classroom. I no longer offer online consults outside of that platform.
The above photos are a good start. You are welcome to make a post in the group with your horse's pictures and relevant info, a brief case history and the questions you have. I can either mark up the photos and reply to your post or we can discuss it via Zoom during one of our weekly check in live Zoom sessions.
It is very helpful if you can organize photos in files by horse, group before and after shots, and label them according to the hoof. My favorite APP for organizing hoof photos is Pic Collage. You can use the free version and sort and edit the pictures on your phone.
If you are in need of trimming advice or a general hoof health questions, then just one set of photos is needed. If you want advice on your trim and if it needs improvements, then before and after photos are better. Below are some examples of well-organized photos that have been arranged via Pic Collage. You can see they are full screen, clearly show the before and after from the same angle, and they are labeled.

If your horse has an irregular gait, then video of their movement would also be helpful. I also like to see full body pictures of how the horse likes to stand on a regular basis. If you suspect your horse has hi/low syndrome, then a picture like the one below is helpful.
Please remember that the more time you take making sure you have accurate pictures, that are clear and from the correct angles, the more time I can spend giving you relevant and tailored advice.
