I had Stazis feet trimmed for the first time on Tuesday afterwards he was really wobbbly and he was still like that on Wednesday.Tonight I think he looks lame. Is this normal and has anyone else experienced it?

Doesn't sound normal to me. Do you know/trust the farrier who did her feet? Sounds like he has overdone it a bit.Maybe try to find a really good farrier by recommendation?
I does sound like your farrier has over done it with the trimming and left your boy foot sore....I would find another farrier especially if he can't trim properly. What will he be like when putting shoes on?! Bute should help ease the pain for a few days, that's if your boy is still sore.
Thanks for your responses,it was Keith Hedley who did his feet and hes really good ,recomended by my vet,it was corrective work he had done. Stazi seems fine tonightI suspect he may have jarred his leg in the field,whilst getting used to his feet feeling different. Susan

sometimes when they have corrective trimming or surgical shoeing they can be a bit footy for a day or two after- but your farrier ought to have told you that?
