All comments welcome!
 
You can really see on the fores that the heels and the toes are going to move back. So they will be less under-run with shorter toes - great. :)

Yeah, it is quite exciting! His hinds have changed quite dramatically too, I'm turning into a proper lying-on-the-floor-for-a-look hoof geek..
 
looking great there.


Thank you - he is looking better every time I have a good look and his landings are improving - more flat and heel first now developing! His front left sole is quite asymmetric - I think this is his wonky leg so I think he is starting to balance it differently. Need to dig out the xrays for a look.. would love to send these pics to the vet lol so he could see what my horse did on his own, vs the wedges he was prescribed.. I think he's doing a much better job already tbh!
