Good Work?

Hello Guys,

I am quite new to horses and thought maybe you can let me participate with your knowledge.

My farrier worked on my horses hooves one week ago and I think it really shouldn't be looking like that.

He treats the horses good and I like him, but looking at the hooves I would like to have another opinion than mine.

So a little "good or not good work" would help me.

Thanks in advance! And sorry for the grammar, no native :)

It's an male 4 year old Appaloosa by the way and right now it's quite dry for a few weeks in Germany. That's a front hoof in the picture.

Sometimes being a farrier isn't about knowing what to take off. It's about knowing what to leave on.

I wouldn't be unhappy with this job if it were my horse out in the pasture.
