Fig's feet!

Hi all, I thought I would share my photo's with you and see how you think we are getting on.

Fig had his backs off last May without any issues. The pictures with the front shoes on are the day before they came off, they had been on 6 weeks and really needed doing, so looking at their worst! The fronts came of on the 1st of November last year, he has been in work the whole time, competing sj'ing and dressage, lots of road work, hacking and schooling.

I started him on Forage Plus Winter Performance Balancer at the beginning of December, he had been on Feedmark's Benivit Advanced for a couple of years and did really well on it but after lots and lots of reading and talking to people I changed over. He is a good doer so only had HiFi molasses free and speedibeet to mix his powders into, 5/6 hours soaked hay and strip grazed or muzzled in the field.

There are about 100 photos taken since November so if you start at the end, one's with shoes on and work to the start you will see the changes.

Fingers crossed that I can work photobucket out and this works!!!

Look to be going the right way but perhaps look a little flat (I.e. Not much concavity) and can't see any bars yet.

Thanks He is on ''new'' hoof at his heals now and the difference is amazing, the ridge round all four feet shows the start of the Forage Plus balancer, I love that I can see it getting closer to the toe and growing out. He is really starting to exfoliate his soles again at the minute so they are quite lumpy, he does this every so often. I think its the foot tightening and the old sole is then too wide so it cracks up and comes off in chunks. Probably haven't explained that the best way but I hope you get what I mean.
