I have a rescued section A with a less severe example of this - although yours isn't as bad as the link above! She has managed very successfully a) in the wild and b) now safely with us for about 14 years now. She doesn't even have much of a problem with her teeth! She takes a while to eat and is consequently very protective of her food. She would struggle with a bit, but goes very well in a bitless.
I'm sure it's not going to be that easy, but hopefully there's room for some hope there? |

I had a livery with me for many years who had a wry nose and apart from having to see the dentist every six months he was fine. From the pic it doesn't look too bad a wry nose. They can be much worse than that.
Only a vet could answer this really but I have read in my veterinary books that there has been limited success with operations. Usually if they are bad enough to be considered for surgery then sadly most are put down.
I would think that as long as she can suckle (wry nose foals sometimes have soft pallet problems) and diligent dentistry love her for what she is, a special girly.

| vet was called immediateley. Surgery is possible but the cases outcome he knew were not positive and required a lottery win. Thanks for the help. |

Lets hope that it might sort it's self out to a small degree as she grows - she looks a lovely little girlie and beautiful colour. I really hope for a good outcome.

Hi Vera
Thankyou so much for that link, it has helped us enormously as bubby has a much greater degree of twist than daisy has.
I think it would be so important for everyone who breeds to read bubby's story.
Now will be the wait as the vet said to operate at 4 months.
Thanks again. xx |

So sorry your foal isn't quite perfect, very sad, but if she can suck she may have a normal life. I had read Bubby's story a while ago and she looks a lovely mare.
Hopefully your foal will manage OK and grow up to be a happy healthy horse.

I have only seen this once before in my life think it was a pally sect a rescued from a market by Equine Market Watch I hope she is able to manage okay Kimzi hope you are keeping her forever whatever happens keep us updated I don't think she looks that bad maybe if she has the operation you won't be able to see the curve that obvious  |
  
My horse is my very best friend. Nothing in the world can separate us. When he dies I know he'll be waiting for me at the gate... just like always.
A horse doesn't care how much you know, untill he knows how much you care.
