She does tip toe a little. I have been letting her take it easy. Just short rides.
Good job on the pictures. It hard to tell sometimes unless all four hooves are in the same view and the horse is squared up or standing naturally or you also include side views of the hooves picked up so the balance can be seen across the hoof wall, sole and frog. Or even a video of the horse walking. I don't see this as being the typical hoof shape to fit the Epic Easy Boot. Look on Valley Vet's descriptions, which do a good job of describing the hoof shapes for each style of boot.
If she is tiptoe-ing, she may not be putting down heel first landings.
Do you feel heat in any areas of the hoof?
Does she let you apply pressure to the sole?
There may be some thrush on one hoof... she really should not be sore. I will try to comment on each pic.
