Yesterday I redownloaded hinge and was swiping on all the profiles I liked until I ran out of likes. I realized this when I tried to send a like, so hinge knew I was interested. Cut to today when my amount of likes are refreshed. I went looking for the profile in hopes of liking that same profile and he’s in the freaking standout thing where you have to send a rose!!! Not only this, but nearly every profile in there was one I would like, but I can’t because you only get one rose and I used it yesterday and you have to pay for more. Now I have to wait who knows how many weeks to get enough roses or pay for them to like these profiles because they are not in the regular swiping order.

This is completely a scam. Hinge took the characteristics I was liking to then hoard the best profiles behind the rose paywall. So frustrating that they are withholding matches that appear the most compatible.

Anyone else have this happen?

My horse was walking funny when I saw him today. He is struggling to take steps with both of his front feet. His hooves were done less than a month ago, but the front ones look very long and he is walking like he is overcompensating for overgrown hooves. I’m hoping that’s the issue and he hasn’t foundered or anything. He gets regular exercise and controlled meals but has always struggled with weight gain. He is a fjord.

I couldn’t get very good pictures today but here’s what I got. He was hesitant to let me pick up the both feet but very much so the dirty hoof and wouldn’t let me use the hoof pick on it. I do not have a trained eye, but the only noticeable things I saw were the low heels on his front feet and the small light patch on his right front foot between his sole and the wall. It was not soft and I did not smell any sign of thrush, though it has been abnormally rainy here.

I am going to call my vet and farrier tomorrow morning, but I thought I’d see if anyone can offer some advice here as well.

Edit: Thanks for the replies everyone. I will be looking for a new farrier. I usually just go with the barn farrier because he comes on a dependable schedule. I am 100% sure he had his feet done on May 30th because I held him for it. It is disappointing that his feet are now long enough to bother him not even a full month later.

Hinge holding good profiles for ransom?

Possible underrun heels?
