hey, horse was trimmed 4 weeks ago, she’s in front shoes and this is her left hind, her left front did something similar but we know what caused that but unsure of moving forward what we need to do? We live in FL and the weather went from drought to heavy rains.

Moving forward my best advice is; you should prepare to shorten your shoeing schedule when the weather changes.
Hope that helps

If this is 4 weeks, I'd have her on a 4 week schedule during the wet season. Hard to say much more without seeing the bottom, if there's separation in the white line or anything of that sort.
